BACK TO SCHOOL MESSAGE
School
will resume September 8, 2009 with a full day.
Dear
Parents/Guardian,
I
hope you have had an enjoyable summer and are ready to send your children back
to us well rested and ready for a new school year. September is a time for new beginnings.
Unlike people in business and industry, educators have the luxury of a new
start each Fall and for me there is something special
about the opening of a new school year.
Our
students come back to us a year older, a year wiser and represent all that is
good with the world. The proverbial slate is wiped clean, providing learners
the prime opportunity to refocus, renew and reinvent their journey to
adulthood.
We
want all children to learn because they can. We want every child to be
successful because we know that he or she wants to be. We want all children to
be prepared for the next grade level or course because we know they must be.
Mannington’s
curriculum is driven by the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards and
provides stepping stones for a lifetime of learning and challenges. Delivered
through a balanced, research based, innovative and traditional learning
environment, our programs allow students to develop their strengths, discover
unique talents and become responsible citizens.
The
high quality of our school is enhanced by you, the families in the community we
serve. To some extent, the school can only take partial credit for our level of
student achievement. A large measure of the credit goes to you, the parents and
our community that value and support learning. You are your children’s first
and most important teachers. You have high expectations for the school and your
children’s performance, and we applaud and welcome those expectations. Our
teaching, administrative, and support staff look forward to working with you
during the 2009-2010 school year to meet these goals.
Sincerely,
Dr.
