June 2009 Newsletter
It hardly seems possible that June is here and the 2008-2009 school year is rapidly coming to a close. I find myself remembering all the experiences and the pleasure I have had working with you and your children this past year. The elementary school years are one of the most important and exciting times in a child’s life. The philosophy of the elementary school is based upon establishing a sound foundation in terms of academic achievement by meeting the program goals that are defined in our curriculum. We want our students to develop a positive self-esteem and self-concept so that they will have the confidence to excel in new situations, develop friendships, learn how to interact in an appropriate manner with peers, and discover joy and happiness in each learning experience.
Over the year we strived to meet these challenges. While we were successful in many instances, there were cases where further improvement was needed. Whatever the situation may have been, we hope our programs had a positive impact on your child, and that you were able to see them grow in many areas. It is important to note that for us to achieve our goals there needs to be a partnership between home and school. Numerous people have contributed to this success. First and foremost are you, our parents and guardians, whose support, love and understanding are essential to our students’ educational progress. I also must recognize our teachers, whose dedication and expertise are extraordinary, and who extend themselves in providing meaningful experiences that benefit your children.
As I complete another year at School One, I feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful people throughout the Scotch Plains and Fanwood communities. I hope that we can continue to build upon and enhance many of the programs and activities that we offer our students. With summer vacation quickly approaching, may I suggest that you continue to support the educational endeavors that we have developed this past year. You can help tremendously by encouraging your children to read on a daily basis, or to write and illustrate activities that they are experiencing, perhaps about a family trip or a special topic of interest. You can also help reinforce your children’s math skills by having them play computation games (maybe when traveling) or by structuring problem-solving activities that involve measurement, graphing, or multiple operations based upon their developmental readiness. These types of activities will help refine the skills that they have developed over the past year and will enable them to receive a “jump start” for school in September.
I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to wish our fourth-grade students continued success as they move to the middle school. They are a terrific group of children who have worked diligently to address our academic standards, and have contributed to our school in a variety of capacities. Over the years we have witnessed many achievements, and we have enjoyed and appreciated their unique personalities and qualities. As we bid them farewell, I would like to express again that it has been my pleasure to get to know each and every one of them. Hopefully, in some small way, I made a difference and had an impact on their educational experiences while they were at School One.
