Welcome to a New Beginning!  

    You and your child are part of TEAMING – an instructional program in which five teachers share their resources and expertise.  It also provides students and teachers with a sense of belonging to a small group with common goals and whose members are supportive of each other.

      Through our teaching expertise, we’ve come to realize what an enjoyable and yet challenging year this can be for a young person.  We’re committed to making this year as productive and fulfilling as possible for your child.

    Teachers and parents have a common goal for children  - giving them the best education possible.  Our team’s goals this year are as follows:

            a) To provide a healthy and safe atmosphere conductive to learning,

            b) To help provide the social, emotional and academic skills necessary to be successful in life,

            c) To be positive role models for students so that they can develop important values such as respect for themselves and others.

    Through teamwork we can achieve these goals.

    The Middle School uses an agenda book, which will serve as a school calendar, assignment book and student book all in one.  A student will be responsible for taking the agenda book to each class each day as the equivalent of a regular textbook.  Please review it regularly with your child, as it will be checked periodically.  The agenda book is an opportunity for communication between the school and home.

     We encourage you to communicate with us whenever you have a question or concern about your child’s progress.   Please contact the middle school at 973 697-1980 if you need to make an appointment.

            We look forward to a great school year!
