Greetings superintendents, board presidents, parents, and educational leaders:

As you may be aware, the NJ Department of Education has conducted numerous meetings in communities across the state seeking input on how to reform our state assessments to better serve the needs of our students, provide parents with useful performance data, and meet our federal and state assessment requirements.  Here at the county office, we are pleased to announce an upcoming event seeking Hunterdon County’s perspective on the current and future state of assessments.

The PARCC Listening Tour meeting for our county will be held on June 21, 2018 at the Route 12 Hunterdon County Complex, Building 1 on Thursday, June 21, 2018 at 1:00 p.m.  Go here for directions http://www.co.hunterdon.nj.us/directions/rte12complex.htm. 

Please share this information with your staff, parents, and any other stakeholders.  Please RSVP as soon as possible to Darlene Wene at darlene.wene@doe.nj.gov if you plan to attend.

SUPERINTENDENT'S WELCOME

On behalf of the Board of Education of the South Hunterdon Regional School District, I would like to welcome you and your children to the 2017-2018 school year. 

Our efforts to improve student performance will be continued so that we can meet our academic growth targets in all academic subject areas. We will be using a variety of assessment measures to determine student progress and will be reporting your child’s progress to you on a regular basis. As this school year begins, I encourage you to meet our teachers, administrators, and support staff in order to continue developing strong partnerships. Our goal is to create an educational experience that allows for maximum student learning as well as a safe and positive social environment for students.

We have high expectations for student growth, we value the use of technology as a tool to improve and support classroom instruction, and our goal is to provide equal access to strong core academic programs. We hope you will visit the site to keep abreast of the multitude of activities and news that will be shared during the course of the year.  We look forward to a positive and successful school year and we appreciate your continued support.

Sincerely,
Louis T. Muenker, D.Ed.
Superintendent of Schools
