Principal's Message Print E-mail

I welcome you to the website of the Dominick H. Ferrara Elementary School. I am most proud of our students and especially the dedicated faculty and support staff.

Our school benefits from strong parental and community support. Our P.T.O. enhances student learning by providing enrichment programs and field trips for all grades. Our grounds have received improvements with the planting of trees and the receiving of additional playground equipment.

We at Ferrara love our neighborhood school. We may be low in numbers, but we have high expectations for all of our students. The staff and I are committed to providing a safe and pleasant environment for learning. Students' assessments are analyzed, providing important data for planning learning activities that will meet individualized needs.

Our school supports developing the whole child. Everyone plays a role in the children's development and success. Parents are encouraged to work with our staff as we strive for students to demonstrate academic excellence. If you ever have a question, concern, idea or the time to volunteer, please contact us, for together, we can achieve the most for our students.

Sincerely,

Paul DeBernardo, Principal
