WELCOME TO RYERSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Our school is unique. Under our multi-instructional paradigm, we administer to the intellectual needs of students in grades kindergarten through five, and the special needs of "The Learning Center" students who are mainstreamed whenever possible.  The multi-cultural composition of Ryerson's community presents our students and staff with an opportunity to savor, appreciate and understand the traditional customs or folkways of our diverse population.

Our curriculum meets and far exceeds the high expectations established by the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. A variety of strategies are used to enhance instruction in all academic areas.  Concentrated staff in-service focuses on powerful intervention strategies to assist all students of all ability levels.  Teachers take a global approach to education by making connections between cultures and current and historical events.

We have created an environment that clearly conveys the message that all children can learn and are expected to perform to their fullest ability. We strive to create an active learning environment that engages students, parents, staff, and community members. We assist children in building a strong academic background, understanding and knowledge, along with moral and social attitudes and values that will sustain them for life long learning. In this era of the Internet and globalization, of cultural diversity and universal connectivity, the world is our home and we are preparing our children to live in it.

We have an active Parent Teacher Organization, a technology network system with software to compliment all academic areas as well as Internet service in every classroom to connect students and staff to the worldwide web. During our school year, we engage students, parents, staff and community in a variety of activities including:

  • After School Enrichment/Support Programs
  • An Annual Cultural Diversity Program
  • Annual Art Exhibit
  • Environmental Beautification Program
  • Family Literacy Night
  • Read Across America Day
  • Family Fun Nights
  • School-wide Conflict Resolution Programs
  • Grade-level Performances (infusing dance, song, and visual arts)
  • Cultural Enrichment Programs (highlighting musicians, theatrical performers, and environmentalists)
  • Character Education Program

 Highly Qualified Teacher Status

The federal law, called No Child Left Behind (NCLB) requires teachers to be “highly qualified” in the subjects they teach.  As parents you have the right to inquire about the qualifications and the “HQT” status of your child’s teacher.  At Ryerson Elementary School every classroom has a “Highly Qualified Teacher” who is dedicated to the success of each child.  I encourage you to continue to support your child’s education and communicate with his or her teacher on a regular basis.  By partnering with your child’s teacher, together we can provide your child with the best education possible.

 

Sincerely,

Frank Markowick, Principal
