EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT

Egg Harbor Township School Community,

The month of December, a season often filled with reflection, celebration, and togetherness. Each month we have a focus word for our students and staff. This month's word is Compassion. Compassion is more than just kindness—it’s about understanding, empathy, and the willingness to help others. This month, let us challenge ourselves to lead with compassion in all we do. For our students, that might mean looking out for a friend or being a positive role model. For our staff, it could be offering a word of encouragement or an extra moment of understanding. These acts of compassion give us a chance to reflect on how small gestures can have a big impact on those around us and ultimately remind us of the strength and warmth within our school community.

Our district will be hosting many holiday performances throughout the month. Be sure to check your child's school website and follow notifications from the principal for dates, times, locations, and procedures.

As the holidays approach and we prepare to close out the year, I want to thank each of you for your support, understanding, and kindness; true examples for your children as it prepares them to be good citizens.

Wishing you a month filled with joy, warmth, and compassion. Let’s continue to support and inspire each other as we move into a bright new year.

Our mission in the Egg Harbor Township School District is to embrace families and their

students to provide a safe, rigorous, and relevant learning experience while students are engaged and educated to become responsible for their own learning.

In order to prepare students for the future that awaits them, teaching practices will incorporate new technologies and innovation to support student learning to prepare students for the future that awaits them. Professional Learning Community work will encompass the Teaching and Assessing Cycle. This data will assist in meeting individual student needs using the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) framework. We will also focus on the social and emotional needs of every student to foster successful learning experiences.

S.O.A.R. (SAFETY, OWNERSHIP, ACCOUNTABILITY, RESPECT) will be used as the foundation to ensure a safe learning environment for all. SOAR provides students with self-regulation skills, life skills, and character skills that will assist them with student achievement, work ethic, good character, and a respect for diversity. We will celebrate progress through recognition and reward to reinforce student expectations for a positive school climate, culture, and #EHTPride.

Continue to form positive, supportive, and sustained partnerships with community partners to complement and enhance student learning, activities, and athletics at all grade levels. The effectiveness of these partnerships will depend on the quality of collaboration, the alignment of goals, and the level of commitment from all involved parties. These stakeholders include students, parents, teachers, support staff, school administrators, the Board of Education, community organizations, businesses, and government agencies.
