Superintendent’s Message
Welcome to the Ridgefield Park Public School District. In Ridgefield Park, we are very proud of the work our students and staff undertake daily, and we invite you to browse this website to access resources, learn more about our school community, and stay up to date with the latest news here in RP.
It has been said, "It takes a village to raise a child." In the Village of Ridgefield Park, our staff, students, parents, community members, and Board of Education make up our educational family… one committed to ensuring every student acquires the knowledge, skills, and attributes necessary to achieve personal, professional, and academic success… and one committed to helping students become productive, contributing members of our global community.
We strive each and every day to provide engaging, rigorous, student learning experiences that foster the intellectual habits and skillsets that support personal and professional growth for a lifetime. We set expectations high... with clear, academic, career-ready goals for every student. We value student agency and work hard to support students as they advance their abilities to communicate, collaborate, think both critically and creatively, and learn the life-skills necessary to find their place in a fast-moving world.
We are glad you stopped by and hope you will explore this site to learn more about our fine schools in the Village of Ridgefield Park. Go Scarlets!!!
