The sun was shining and there were miles of smiles as teachers met their new students at Roosevelt & Cherry Hill Schools in River Edge on Wednesday!
The Technology Department and crews from Buildings & Grounds were treated to a well-deserved lunch earlier this week to thank them for their hard work preparing our schools for the 2024-2025 school year. Desks are cleaned, floors are shiny, computers are updated and ready for staff and students!
The week, our new staff members are participating in New Staff Orientation at Roosevelt and Cherry Hill Schools. Welcome to River Edge Public Schools! We are so excited you are here!
Summer may be a time for fun and relaxation, but River Edge Teachers and Administrators are also participating in various Curriculum Writing and Professional Development opportunities. Literacy Consultant, Patty McGee, and Math Consultants, Bill Jackson and Makoto Yoshida, have joined River Edge Edge staff members to "dig deep" into the New Jersey Student Learning Standards and to plan engaging lessons and activities for the new school year. Learning is fun, no matter what time of year it is.
Please join us this evening for our monthly public board meeting.
Congratulations to all the sixth graders from Cherry Hill and Roosevelt Schools on their graduation milestone! Wishing them all the very best of luck as they move on to middle school! Have a great summer!
Happy Father's Day! Enjoy your day!
Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Dr. Nicholas Bernice, our new superintendent of schools in River Edge, NJ! We're excited to embark on this journey together under your leadership. Here's to a bright future ahead for our students and community!
We had so much fun during our Day of Wellness on May 22nd! Thank you to our Wellness Team for planning such an awesome event! We would also like to thank all students, staff, and community members who facilitated incredible wellness stations throughout the day!
Featured here is the third edition of The River Edge Review with features about Wellness Day, supporting multilingual learners, School Board President receiving the Archie F. Hay Award, and recognitions for teachers of the year and retirees!
This e-newsletter summarizes achievements from around the district and recognizes those who go above and beyond.
Congratulations to Eun Kang, president of the River Edge Public Schools Board of Education, on receiving the Archie F. Hay Award.
The Archie F. Hay Award was presented to Mrs. Kang at the River Edge Board of Education meeting on May 22, 2024, to recognize her commitment and leadership to River Edge schools.
This award was established in the mid-1980s by the Bergen County SBA “to honor local board members who exemplify Dr. Archie Hay's leadership in education and his commitment to the children of Bergen County.” Dr. Hay, former Bergen County superintendent, was responsible for setting up the Bergen County Special Education regions and the Special Services School District. “I am honored and privileged to work with such a dedicated, supportive, and student-centered Board President,” said River Edge Business Administrator LuAnne Napolitano.
Mrs. Kang, a former elementary school teacher and mother of two River Edge School students, continues to ensure that our district best supports our students' needs. She has served on the Board since 2018 and has been president since 2021.
Remember those who have sacrificed this Memorial Day 2024.
In October 2023, the River Edge School District was awarded $137,558.19 from the Trees for Schools grant to fund the costs associated with the purchase and planting of trees including planning, site preparation, watering, monitoring and related expenses over a three-year period.
Earlier this week, 42 trees alone were planted at Cherry Hill School with more being planted at Roosevelt School. Thank you to Liz Stewart from the River Edge Shade Tree Commission for her assistance in obtaining this grant. We could not have accomplished this without her help. Our schools now have beautiful color and shade!
At the May 22, 2024, public board meeting, several distinguished members of our school community were honored, including our Teachers of the Year, retirees, and the Stigma-Free Sticker Contest winner. Drs. Murphy and Jaffe, Principal Heitman, and the Director of Curriculum each spoke on behalf of the honorees, highlighting their achievements and dedication.
Special congratulations to Zoie K., the winner of the Stigma-Free Sticker Contest. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Teachers of the Year for making learning fun and memorable for River Edge students. Although we will miss our retirees, we wish them all the best in their well-deserved retirement.

The second edition of the River Edge Review is here and features Teacher Appreciation week, school safety upgrades, math contest winners, and curriculum writing.
During Teacher Appreciation Week, the teachers of River Edge were honored for their dedication and hard work. Celebrations included some "sweet" acknowledgments, showcasing the community's gratitude for the educators' efforts in shaping young minds and providing quality education. Thank you River Edge teachers! We appreciate you!
Ms. Linton's Preschool students gave their moms the best gift ever...a special Mother's Day tea with special place settings, homemade cookies, relaxing drinks, and special entertainment.
