Starting a new year gives us the opportunity to evaluate our successes and areas for improvement. This school year we are welcoming Mr. Dominic Mucci as our new Superintendent. The staff is dedicated to creating new plans, designing new strategies and implementing new ideas. We have a special interest this school year in promoting the performing and fine arts. The administration, staff, parents and students must be motivated by the possible potential each year presents. Whether one’s responsibility is administration, supervision, teaching, parenting, preparing lunches, volunteering, maintaining a building or managing an office, there is always room for improvement.

We can be proud of what we achieved in both Upper School and North Cliff School with the support of staff and parents. Our schools are successful because of concerned parents and a dedicated and talented staff. The administration is planning to improve on our new program initiatives throughout the district.

This year, as in the past, we must concentrate on the processes that spur continuing advancement: Evaluating what we have accomplished, determining what we can do to improve, and identifying what we can do to enhance programs, and identifying what we need to make those improvements for our children. Through a strong understanding of our roles and responsibilities we can make a difference.

Let us make 2008-2009 a successful experience!

Mr. Joseph Spano
Principal
