Administration
IT IS AN HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO BE THE PRINCIPAL AT CHARLES J. RILEY. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO A YEAR FILLED WITH STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND SUCCESS. AS WE EMBARK ON OUR GOAL OF PREPARING ALL STUDENTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND BEYOND, I CANNOT DO THIS ALONE. WE, THE FACULTY AND STAFF OF CJR, ARE DEDICATED AND PREPARED TO LEAD OUR STUDENTS TO THE NEXT LEVEL. I AM VERY EXCITED TO SEE OUR STUDENTS WALKING THROUGH THE HALLWAYS AND INTERACTING WITH THEM ON A DAILY BASIS. AS A FELLOW GRADUATE OF PATERSON PUBLIC SCHOOLS, I TAKE MY ROLE VERY SERIOUS AND LOOK FOR THE BEST FOR ALL STUDENTS. THE STUDENTS ARE THE TOP PRIORITY AT CJR AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO A FANTASTIC YEAR. WE ARE FAMILY HERE AT CJR!!!
AS I ENTER MY 22nd YEAR IN EDUCATION, I GET JUST AS EXCITED AS OUR PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND STUDENTS TO BEGIN A NEW ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR. AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER, I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED TO BE IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION. GROWING UP IN AN INNER CITY, I WAS INSPIRED BY MY 3RD-GRADE TEACHER AND IN RETURN, I KNEW THAT I WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF URBAN YOUTH.
IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE THAT I WELCOME YOU BACK TO ANOTHER WONDERFUL SCHOOL YEAR AT CHARLES J. RILEY #9. I AM VERY EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THIS WONDERFUL SCHOOL COMMUNITY. I CONSIDER MYSELF EXTREMELY FORTUNATE TO WORK WITH MANY DEDICATED, INNOVATIVE, AND CARING STAFF MEMBERS, PARENTS AND STUDENTS. EACH DAY IS FILLED WITH NEW EXPERIENCES, LEARNING FOR ALL, AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE SOMEONE'S DAY BETTER. EDUCATION IS A JOINT VENTURE AT SCHOOL 9. WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT YOU PROVIDE FOR YOUR CHILDREN AT HOME AND AT SCHOOL TO HELP MEET THEIR LEARNING GOALS. I AM CERTAIN THAT OUR COMMON RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR CHILDREN'S SUCCESS WILL PROVIDE FRUITFUL OUTCOMES AS THE YEAR PROGRESSES.
