April 2008

Dear Parents & Community Members,

            Thank you for your support for our school budget.  We feel that we provide an extremely well developed curriculum and educational program, while assisting the taxpayers.

            During April, May, and June there is a great deal of activity happening in the schools.  We will keep the community appraised of what is happening on our website and on our local television channel (Channel 22).  Please check both periodically to see what is happening in our schools.  Our community is always welcome to our events.

            During early May, our Fifth and Sixth Grade students will be taking our NJ ASK state assessments.  They have worked hard during the year and I have every confidence that they will do well.

            I will provide you with a short renovations update.  Our classroom renovations are going well thanks to the flexibility and cooperation of the contractors and our staff.  We are working toward resolution of the infiltration basin in front of the Frederic A. Priff School.  County work crews were here during the week of April 21 to help alleviate the concerns.  Over the summer the majority of the renovations work in the Waretown Elementary School will be completed.  Our Frederic A. Priff School will have fewer renovations to be completed.

            Thank you for your continued support for our schools.

Sincerely,

Donald J. Bochicchio
Ocean Township Superintendent of Schools
