From the Superintendent 

Dear 4J Community,

With high school commencements underway and less than a week of school remaining, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to our students, staff, families, board of directors and community partners. 

We have navigated significant stressors and difficult decisions together this year, and I have just been so inspired by the dedication, resilience, and care demonstrated across our district every day.

At this time of year, our schools celebrate countless milestones, achievements and traditions that make this season so special. While much of our attention has understandably been focused on the budget challenges this year, June is an opportunity to celebrate our school community as we wrap up the year. The many achievements of our students and their educator mentors, in academics, athletics and other extracurricular activities, reflect talent, dedication, perseverance and excellence that shines across our district and remind us of the many reasons we are proud to be part of the 4J community.
