Welcome to School #19 Website!
The mission of Menlo Park Terrace School is to provide an excellent
educational program and learning environment. We stress academic
skills and good citizenship and value the diverse cultures and backgrounds
of our students. We strive to develop life-long learners who are
responsible citizens prepared for their next level of school.
Our instructional program is shared by all Woodbridge Township
elementary schools. All curricula are aligned with the state Core
Curriculum Standards and support the Workplace Readiness Standards.
It provides opportunities for students to acquire a strong foundation
of knowledge and skill in the core academic areas of mathematics,
social studies, science, health, physical education, library, guidance,
world languages, vocal music, art and instrumental music. Our Language
Arts program integrates reading, writing, listening, viewing, spelling,
phonics and handwriting. In our primary grades, our Fundamentals
First program focuses on literacy and numeracy.
In addition, in order to meet the learning needs of each student
we have incorporated the Schools Attuned program. Developed by Dr.
Mel Levine and the School of Education, at the University of North
Carolina. Schools Attuned provides students, parents and teachers
with new methods for recognizing, understanding and managing the
diverse learning styles of students. To meet our students’ special
needs we offer Academic Support instruction in reading and math,
speed a Gifted and Talented program and special education services.
We also have an Intervention and Referral Services Committee to
assist children who are struggling in school. We also have many
special programs that enrich our students’ school experience. Family
Math, Family Writing, Family Science and PAL’s Program as well as
our track team, Honor Roll, Homework Club, Student Council, Safety
Patrol, vocal and instrumental music concerts, and D.A.R.E. program
all contribute to a rich educational experience.
Our active PTA provides assemblies, special educational opportunities
and volunteers’ support that enhances to entire school program.
The community relationships that we have developed continue to
be an important part of the success we enjoy at Menlo Park Terrace
School. We reach out with many activities and opportunities that
involve these community partnerships enhancing the life-long learning
of our children.
We are proud of the rich educational tradition that has been initiated
and continues to grow at Menlo Park Terrace School and look forward
to our future efforts encouraging children to be the best that they
can be.
