The Ringwood Public Schools have already suffered the privatization of the custodial staff, the outsourcing of an OT position, the loss of five paraprofessional positions, and the loss of seven teaching positions, with dramatic cuts to the BSI, G&T and band programs.
If this plan goes through, we will be forced to strip another $160K from our budget for next year, which will mean more and deeper cuts.
This would have been difficult enough if we had been notified in December, but telling us now, over a month after our final budget was approved, is unconscionable. Please contact the governor and the legislators below and tell them to reject this plan for the 2017-18 school year or to hold harmless those districts who
would see a reduction in aid.

Ringwood’s Ryerson students win Battle of the Books by David Zimmer
Congratulations Faith, Michael, Jack, and Monica! We’re incredibly proud of you. Many thanks to Mrs. Gay for her leadership and dedication!
RINGWOOD – Ryerson students recently conquered the county in a Battle of the Books.
The four-student team from the middle school punctuated its win in the 17-team New Jersey Association of School Librarians (NJASL) contest in Hawthorne last month with a perfect score, officials said.
The unblemished score card from Faith Morris Liu, Jack Burke, Michael Maglio and Monica Sperzel is not unprecedented, said Ryerson Middle School teacher Ellen Gay. It is, however, unusual.

Congratulations Hewitt! Shout out to Mrs. Camporeale and Mrs. Kirkegard for their hard work in applying for this grant.
“The good people of Ringwood passed a referendum to upgrade Hewitt School’s infrastructure,” Kirkegard said. “We look forward to adding to our library’s book collection through James Patterson’s generosity and getting the books into the hands of our students.”
