I hope you are enjoying the last weeks of summer. On the school front, we have been working diligently over the past several weeks in preparation for welcoming students back to school. With the first day of school fast DOUG approaching, we remain committed to the MENTZER health and safety of our school community, as well as to a successful year ahead focused on the academic and emotional growth of students. Our 22/23 funding from the federal and state governments will provide our district with additional resources that we can use to continue to support students. Additionally, TPS has been extremely busy during the summer months with the hiring of 20 new employees in various capacities. Though we are still working towards filling a few additional positions, I am excited to see our new faces embrace the year ahead. I would also like to thank our administrative team for their special commitment throughout the summer and their work to submit articles for the “Back to School” edition of the Times. Once again, I would like to share my sentiment that it is an honor and privilege to serve as the Superintendent of Trenton Public Schools. As we prepare for another school year, the excitement for renewed opportunities begins on Tuesday, September 6, 2022. Our District ended the 21/22 year as a home to just under 2,500 students.
Our Students are our Purpose! We subscribe to a mission that encompasses ideals related to academics, athletics, and opportunity. This concentration is embedded in our mission statement: “To Inspire Students Today for Their Success Tomorrow”. Nothing could be more simple, and, at the same time, essential to our shared success! The Power of 3: Our leadership team consistently comes together to support our children, lead our schools, and work with our community! Our incredible educators are innovative, enthusiastic and attentive to the needs, growth, and success of our students. In the classroom, hallways, lunchrooms and alternate activities, our teachers get involved, supporting all students to learn and grow! We have a community that is engaged, committed, and supportive of our vision. Through our collaborative approach, we have been able to continue our journey of being a premier school district in the region and state. On behalf of Trenton Public Schools, I welcome all of our families back to school! We are totally committed to being your partner in your child’s educational journey.
