1 is a vibrant, close knit Pre-k-6 school community for nearly nine
hundred and fifty students and staff members. Our student body, made
up of many nationalities, composed of children with a wide array of
talents, abilities, and needs, successfully working together to form
a unique family.
Public School No.
1 thrives on excellence! Its dedicated faculty, staff, and I are
committed to such excellence bringing the best possible education to
our students. At Public School No. 1, we look forward to meeting the
challenges of the future. As we continue to maximize their ability
to succeed in this ever changing world, our goal is to provide a
vibrant and responsive public education system that produces well
rounded citizens with the capability and confidence to succeed in
the 21st Century.
Maintaining high
academic standards leading to mastery of the Core Curriculum Content
Standards, which the state of New Jersey has deemed essential to the
education of each of our students, requires a well thought out plan
for success. This plan includes a comprehensive curriculum with an
emphasis on literacy, mathematics, science, technology, and the
arts. Teachers participate in professional development activities
focused on helping all students achieve grade level proficiencies.
An integral part of this plan is parent participation. We encourage
parents to support their children at home and invite them to get
involved in the school community.
Our belief is
that all our children can succeed and our commitment to addressing
their individual need is our goal. Public School No. 1 will continue
to foster these goals in order to produce healthy, happy, and
educated children today who will become the leaders of tomorrow.
