Thank you to everyone who attended our Grandparents/Special Persons Day event! It was wonderful to share our small piece of paradise with all of you! From breakfast to each class singing a song to classroom visits, everyone was smiling ear to ear! A huge thank you to the Ocean Gate New Jersey Education Association for putting on such a loved and amazing event!











Our April House Meeting focused on caring and communication skills as the students made cards for an organization that send cards to children who are in the hospital. Each house worked on the importance of verbal and nonverbal communication as well as working together to accomplish a goal. Students continue to display the 6 Pillars of Character daily!











The April meeting for the Ocean Gate Board of Education will take place on Tuesday, April 29th. The meeting will open at 6 pm, with Executive session immediately following until 6:30 pm. The General session will begin at 6:30 pm. Please see the YouTube live link to join virtually. https://youtube.com/live/N0mVPy1tod8?feature=share

Thank you to the Ocean Gate Garden Club for inviting our Kindergarten through Second Grade to attend the Arbor Day Celebration. Together they planted a new tree and each student planted sunflower seeds to grow their own sunflower plants at home! 🌻🪴

Ms. Maute and Mrs. Risk's classes had cute furry visitors last week! As a part of their Pet study, our Pre K classes had Michele LeVance from Pet Supplies Plus stop by to talk with them about having pets and what they can find in her local pet stores. She also brought 2 pet ferrets, Noodles and Spaghetti, with her that the students could pet and play with. Thank you Michele!!!





A nice thank you from Council Woman Joella for our Gator participation in the "Souper Bowl" drive. Great job to Ms. McCue and the Student Council for organizing!

Principal's Newsletter for 4/7/25- Have a great weekend Gators!


Mrs. Parliman's Kindergarteners had the best visit today! A few months ago, our kindergarteners created monster drawings with Mrs. Jarka in art class. These drawings were then sent to Mrs. Barrett's Fiber Arts class over at Central Regional. These amazing high school students brought our creative kindergartener's monsters to life! Today, the art students from Central came to Ocean Gate to present the monsters to Mrs. Parliman's class. The kindergarteners had the best time chatting with the art students and colored a picture of their monster's environment! We can't thank Mrs. Barrett and her students enough! These monsters will also be on display at Grandparent's day for everyone to see!🐊🦅💚
