November 2024 Wrap-Up
Mrs. Levine's first day as a Spartan will be Monday, December 2nd!
Dear West Long Branch School Community,
I am truly honored to introduce myself as the new Director of Special Services. With 23 years of experience serving students and families as an educator in New Jersey, I am excited to bring my passion for education, inclusion, and student success to this role. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to ensuring that all students, regardless of their needs, receive a high-quality education. For 19 years, I worked in the classroom as both a general education teacher and a special education teacher, providing me with a broad understanding of the challenges and opportunities within diverse learning environments.
In my most recent role, I had the privilege of working closely with colleagues to review and revise curriculum while finding ways to provide access to that curriculum for all. I worked collaboratively to design initiatives that support all students, while specifically targeting the skills necessary for struggling learners. I believe that every child has the potential to succeed, and my approach has always been to create learning opportunities that meet the needs of all students through differentiated instruction and targeted interventions.
As Director of Special Services, I will continue to work closely with our counselors, child study team members, fellow administrators, teachers and, most importantly, our parents. I am committed to identifying the needs of our students, implementing effective progress monitoring systems, and maintaining open and clear communication with all stakeholders. Together, we can ensure that our students are supported, encouraged, and given the best possible chance to thrive.
I am thrilled to join this community and look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with each of you as we work to create the best possible educational experience for all our students.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Natalie Levine
