I would be remiss if I did not mention that the tremendous success and accomplishments of our students and programs are the result of the dedicated, talented and passionate staff we have in our district. As I walk through the classrooms and the hallways of our schools, I am so proud of the accomplishments and achievements made by our students. While new programs are wonderful to have, nothing can take the place of a dedicated teacher or an involved parent.

The Office of Curriculum & Instruction will continue working diligently in concert with Administrators, Faculty and Staff throughout the year to ensure academic success for our students.

 

Respectfully,

Ms. Jessica Iafrate
Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction
