Message from the Superintendent

Feature Photo Superintendent Michael J. Ritacco recently had the opportunity to speak to Governor Jon S. Corzine about the ways the school district is teaching wellness to students.


Come fall, no matter what age our students are, we hear the same mixed emotions in their voices about the opening of school. They are both apprehensive and excited about the new opportunities that lie ahead. With these opportunities come challenges and expectations. For our youngest ones in kindergarten, it may be learning the foundations of reading, while those who are studying calculus are solving proofs.

Like our students, we at Toms River Regional Schools anxiously await the opening day with great expectations. We set our expectations high because we know that our students will strive to achieve them, and we will give them all the support that they need to find success.

As you prepare for school, think of these expectations as targets or goals that are attainable. Even those that seem unrealistic may drive us to achieve something more than we ever thought possible!

May the excitement and enthusiasm that we all feel at the start of the year remain fresh as the semesters unfold.

So, welcome to the beginning of a promising school year!

Together, we will achieve great things.

Michael J. Ritacco
