Dear Parents and Families of Maple Shade,
Welcome back to the 2019-2020 school year. The beginning of school is always my favorite time of year. It is the start of new and exciting adventures and opportunities for all of us. Our first day for all students is Monday, September 9th, with a 2 hour delayed opening of school in each of the 4 buildings. Please see the bottom of this letter for start times for each of the schools. Our new staff members are hired, ready and eager to start. Curriculum has been reevaluated by our master teachers, just waiting for our students to experience the learning that it holds.
We will have some new faces in each of our four schools. New teachers and assistants await our children. Steinhauer School welcomes Mr. Josh Zagorski, previously our Director of Stem Education, as our new proud principal. Mr. Zagroski started July 1, 2019 and has spent the summer planning many new adventures for our staff and students. We have two new administrators at Maple Shade High School. Mrs. Sarah Cervo will be a vice principal working with our 9th and 10th grade students and Dr. Roger Jack will be the vice principal working with our 7th and 8th grade students.
As we open a new school year, I cannot help but be appreciative of our whole school community. Our new roofs and security vestibules are a reminder and an example of how fortunate we are to be part of a town that values education. I am excited and proud of the changes we will see in our schools over the next two years. On behalf of the entire Board of Education and the district administration, faculty and staff, we thank you for all of your support and we look forward to seeing you at the start of school and the following Back to School Nights:
Howard Yocum Elementary September 26, 2019
Maude Wilkins Elementary September 23, 2019
