Dear Parents/Guardians:
On behalf of the Eatontown Board of Education and Administration, I would like to welcome our students and parents back as the new school year approaches. As a school district, we are committed to “Blending Tradition and Innovation to Drive Educational Excellence.” Providing a safe and nurturing learning environment for students to grow and excel is our primary mission.
During the 2021-2022 school year, our school community will work to infuse social-emotional learning in the important educational work ahead. In order to provide a quality education for all students, Eatontown Public Schools is committed to meeting students where they are and providing the necessary support to take children where they deserve to go. Moving forward, our challenge is to ensure our students’ academic as well as social-emotional needs are met by providing an equitable and nurturing educational environment for students. One of the strongest prerequisites for effective student learning is the strength of the relationship between the educator and the student.
Research tells us that relationships matter. Continuing to enhance school climate across the district is a valued educational goal. Hence, “Supporting Eatontown Learners” is our mantra for 2021-2022. The District will work to support the Three Rs in the classroom: Relationships, Relevance, and Rigor. These elements will enhance student learning in the year ahead.
All Eatontown Public Schools will open on Wednesday, September 8, 2021 for a one-session day. The Breakfast Program will begin on Wednesday, September 8, 2021. Thursday, September 9th and Friday, September 10th will be one-session days as well. Our first full day of school will be Monday, September 13, 2021. Lunch service will begin Monday, September 13th as well. Additional information regarding the lunch program can be found on the district’s website. School hours are listed below:
