Hello, everyone. It is now the end of August, and the new school year is quickly approaching.
I hope all of the students have had a restful and enjoyable summer. We will be welcoming back teachers and staff on September 2nd and 3rd for meetings and professional development. Then we look forward to welcoming back our students on Thursday, September 4th.
We are constantly working to upgrade our schools and have done a tremendous amount of work during this summer. We do not have the ability, like some of our neighboring school districts, to get schools built by the State of New Jersey at no cost to the town. We need to constantly work to upgrade our facilities to make sure they are safe, secure, and comfortable for our children and staff.
The upcoming school year will bring many changes as we transition to North Bergen School District 3.0. We are adding the new North Bergen Junior High School for 7th and 8th-grade students. If your child will be attending the NBJHS, you will receive information about an orientation day where you can visit and get a feel for the new school. We will have full-day (9:00 AM to 3:00 PM) Pre-Kindergarten in our schools, as well as our kindergarten classes in our home schools.
The parent portal in Realtime is where you can get information about your child's school and classes. Additionally, each staff member has a teacher webpage located on the school website. The teacher's page provides information about the teacher, including the supply list, expectations, and class rules. If you are having difficulty getting this information, please call your child's school office to speak to a school representative.
We are still registering for the full-day preschool program at Lincoln Annex, located at 1206 63rd Street, North Bergen, NJ 07047, and for any information, you can call (201) 295-2925.
Please make sure your contact information is up to date in Realtime. We send Texts, Emails, and information to you through these contacts. If you need help, please call your child's school.
I am looking forward to an exciting school year where each child will grow academically and flourish socially.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, email me at
