  • Superintendent's Report
    Superintendent’s Report M a y 12, 2021 NJ State Seal of Biliteracy & Governor Educators of the Year Recognition Tonight we have two special recognition ceremonies: First, we have four Teaneck High School students who will be receiving the NJ Seal of Biliteracy. These students became eligible because they demonstrated proficiency in English by meeting the English language arts graduation requirements or by reaching appropriate cut score on the ACCESS for ELLs assessment (for English Language Learners); and demonstrated a linguistic proficiency level of at least Intermediate Mid according to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages Proficiency Guidelines, or demonstrated a level deemed equivalent to Intermediate Mid for languages. ● 2 students earned the Seal for Urdu ● 1 student earned the Seal for Arabic ● 1 student earned the Seal for Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines This is an incredibly special accomplishment as this Seal is endorsed by The New Jersey Department of Education and will become a permanent part of their graduation transcript from the Teaneck Public School District. Next, we are recognizing this year’s Governor Educators and Education Professionals of the Year for our elementary, middle and high school. Each of these recipients received a Certificate of Recognition from the NJ Department of Education as well as a personal letter from me along with our famous Teaneck Apple pin. In better times, we would recognize these outstanding professionals in person; but we want to make sure that we at least acknowledge them today. Eid al-Fitr As a reminder, the District is closed on Thursday, May 13 in observance of Eid al-Fitr - which marks the end of the Islamic holy month of fasting or Ramadan.

  • Superintendent's Report
    Superintendent’s Report May 20, 2020 COVID-19 Update – Events & Activities On Friday, May 15, I issued a communication regarding the district’s plans pertaining to special events that would normally take place in June and over the summer. These included: 8th Grade Moving Up/High School Graduation For the safety of all, Teaneck Public Schools will host these ceremonies via a virtual webinar (which will include easy-to-use desktop and mobile-friendly interfaces for graduates to upload their personal content – and for our seniors, to wear their cap and gown). These virtual ceremonies will feature personalized video messages from each student to share with their family and friends, and to have as a keepsake. Further, the high school ceremony will include customary speeches from senior class leaders, the valedictorian & salutatorian, and school and district leadership. Our Virtual Graduation Ceremonies will be held on Monday, June 22, 2020. The schedule is as follows: • Thomas Jefferson Middle School – 10 am start • Benjamin Franklin Middle School – 1 pm start • Teaneck High School – 5 pm start NOTE: These schools will be sending out more specific information about logging on to these ceremonies; and as we get closer to this date, we will also post this information on our district website. Camp K Unfortunately, as we now look toward this summer, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our summer camp program (Camp K). I realize that cancelling this program is a disappointment for our children and their parents; but with strict limitations on large gatherings as well as trip availability, we need to choose health and safety first.
