Superintendent's Message

Hello, everyone, this is Doctor George Solter, Superintendent of the North Bergen School District.  We are now in November, and here is what is going on in our schools.

First, as the Superintendent of the North Bergen School District, I want to reflect on the profound significance of Veterans Day. This important national holiday provides us with an invaluable opportunity to pause and express our deepest gratitude to the incredible men and women who have served, and continue to serve, in the United States Armed Forces. Their unwavering dedication and personal sacrifices are the bedrock of our security, ensuring the preservation of the freedoms and liberties we hold so dear in our community and across the nation. In our classrooms and through district-wide activities, we strive to celebrate the courage and commitment of our veterans, honoring them as true American heroes. We encourage all of our students, staff, and parents to join us in reflecting on the meaning of their service and finding meaningful ways to thank veterans for their service. 

Second, as the daylight grows shorter and the festive season approaches, I want to take a moment to wish all our North Bergen School District families, staff, and students a truly wonderful and meaningful Thanksgiving holiday. This is a time-honored occasion not just for delicious meals, but for reflection, gratitude, and community. Thanksgiving reminds us to pause and appreciate the many blessings in our lives, the support of our families, the dedication of our educators, and the bright potential of our students. Beyond celebrating our own fortunes, let us embrace the spirit of giving back. I encourage everyone to find a way, big or small, to help the less fortunate in our community, whether through volunteering, donating, or simply extending a hand of kindness. May your holiday be filled with warmth, thankfulness, and the joy of shared time with loved ones.

Third, to the North Bergen School District Parents, Staff, and Students, we are pleased to announce our annual Parents' Night, a crucial opportunity for parents to engage directly with their child's teachers regarding academic progress and identify areas where improvements can be made. These evenings are designed to foster a collaborative partnership between home and school, ensuring every student has the support they need to succeed. The schedules, detailing the specific dates for each school level (elementary, middle, and high school), are conveniently available on the North Bergen School District website. Please note that all Parents' Nights will be held from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. We strongly encourage all parents to attend to have meaningful conversations that will positively impact your child's educational journey.

Lastly, I am delighted to invite all of our North Bergen School District families, staff, and students to our much-anticipated annual North Bergen Town Winterfest Celebration! This cherished community event offers something wonderful for everyone. A highlight of the evening will be the showcase of talent from each of our schools, as our dedicated school choirs will perform seasonal songs. Beyond the enchanting musical performances, the Winterfest will feature thrilling rides and activities for all ages, alongside an array of special tables organized by numerous school clubs and town organizations. Please come out, enjoy the holiday spirit, support our schools, and celebrate the incredible community we share here in North Bergen!
