Welcome Letter
August 2024
Each year, we build upon the successes of the previous one to continually enhance the schools and curriculum. This year is no different. The faculty, staff, custodian, and maintenance crews have been working hard to prepare the schools for an exciting and successful start to the 2024-2025 school year. Several schools received new floor and ceiling tiles, new light fixtures, painting of hallways and classrooms, maintenance to roofs, and so much more. Improvements to all schools are completed each summer. This maintains Montville Township’s educational facilities, keeping the buildings in working condition for all students and the community at large.
This year, we have again added great faculty and staff members to our schools. Nearly 600 Montville Township Public Schools employees are returning to educate approximately 3,500 students in grades PreK-12.
This past June, parents/guardians were asked to participate in a school survey. Overall the feedback on the schools and the students’ experiences in the schools was quite positive. A summary of some of the PreK-12 parent responses indicate the following:
82% are satisfied with the overall quality of education their child is receiving
80% would recommend their child's school to others
76% are satisfied with the academic progress of their child
74% believe the academic challenge is appropriate for their child
The mission of the Montville Township Public Schools is “to develop well-rounded, invested, and inspired students by engaging them in an experience of collaboration with educators, parents, and community that fosters a culture of innovation, character, and inclusivity in a shared spirit of pride.” To accomplish this, we will work together to continue establishing the highest quality of learning through a powerful and rigorous learning environment.
As education evolves, we will continue to focus on the fundamentals and maintain support for our students as we also prepare them for the future. Through our motto, Educate. Inspire. Empower., student achievement and quality learning opportunities will remain our educational focus.
We had a great year last year and we are looking forward to an outstanding 2024-2025 school year. I highly encourage all students to get involved and participate in the many arts and music, activities and clubs, and athletic opportunities offered by the Montville Township Public Schools. Being involved in the four “A’s” of an educational experience: academics, arts, athletics, and activities, allows a student to reach their fullest potential.
We look forward to working with you as we continue to provide a wonderful education for your children.
