Principal's Message
At Jackson Avenue School, our goal is to help every student reach their highest potential by combining high academic expectations with a strong sense of belonging. We focus on building foundational skills in reading, writing, math, and problem-solving while also teaching kindness, responsibility, and collaboration. Through strong instruction, consistent expectations, and positive relationships, we help every child build the academic skills and confidence needed for lifelong success. When we learn together as a community, our students thrive.
As an educator for the past twenty years in Hackensack Public Schools, I bring a wealth of experience to this role. I served for five years as an elementary school Assistant Principal at Nellie K. Parker School and, prior to that, I spent three years as the Assistant Principal of ECDC. This past year, I was the Director of Early Childhood.
