A Message
from the Superintendent
Welcome to the Plumsted Township Public
Schools!
Education remains a hallmark of life in New Egypt since its
earliest roots in 1845, when New Egypt became its own
township with one schoolhouse. Today, we have four public
schools with hundreds of academic and co-curricular
offerings. Student achievement is the result of a
partnership between teachers, staff, students and parents.
This website is designed to facilitate good communication
between the schools and the families it serves. Also, the
site is a “portal” to other communication tools to highlight
information regarding events taking place at the primary,
elementary, middle and high school. You can also gain
information regarding district Curriculum, our Special
Education services, Human Resource opportunities and
athletics. Good communication is a moving target and is
vital to our children’s successes so we ask you to please
let us know how this website could best assist you.
Our District goals are as follows:
Student Achievement:
- To implement differentiated
instruction to address the needs of all students
including implementation of professional development for
staff in this area of instruction.
- To research and recommend expansion
of the guidance services for the 2009-2010 school year
district-wide, including addressing student achievement.
Facilities:
- To determine the optimum solution to
space constraints and review other alternatives in order
to expand curricular offerings.
- To review our current security
measures, and identify any additions necessary to
continue to ensure a safe learning environment for
students, staff and community.
Board Goals:
- Develop a collaborative process for
budget development for the 2010-2011 school year that
engages all stakeholders.
To ensure that we continue to meet the
expectations of our 21st century community, I have met with
every certified and noncertified staff member since
September for their input regarding our goals and objectives
on educational priorities and community values in
preparation for the next five years. One of my goals from
the previous school year focused on investigating additional
revenue sources. We are most appreciative of the support of
the Plumsted Township taxpayers and have recently applied
for federal stimulus dollars.
Cooperation and commitment – from staff, parents, students
and community – have been vital to the achievements of the
Plumsted Township School District. I wish you and your child
much success as we continue our school year together as
partners in learning.
