LANGUAGE ARTS EXPECTATIONS

The Tewksbury Board of Education, administration, and staff have spent the last several months improving the Language Arts curriculum. To support the success of these improvements we have increased instructional time and defined expectations for the instructional process.  We have documented these expectations in the following three areas: “Teaching Writing as a Process,” “Literary Analysis,” and “Mechanics, Structure, Syntax, and Grammar.”  Please take the time to become familiar with this document in order to better understand the changes that will take place in the classroom and to better support those efforts at home.

Please contact Board President John Santoro with your questions or feedback.

The Tewksbury Township School District values the uniqueness of all students and will provide child-centered, innovative learning experiences which will enable each student to explore new areas and to develop self-esteem, academic excellence, creativity, social awareness and an enthusiasm for learning.

The schools aspire to foster skills in critical thinking, problem solving, effective communication, and information research. They encourage the development of personal management and goal setting skills as well as the ability to work cooperatively and develop skills in leadership, negotiation, collaboration, and communication. They foster the desire and ability to express oneself creatively and to appreciate the aesthetic expressions of others, while at the same time, promoting personal excellence in reading, writing, computation, social studies, fine and performing arts, sciences, current events, health and physical education, and technology.

Tewksbury Township School District is a K-8 district, which operates two schools serving 752 students.  The original elementary school, Sawmill, opened in 1951.  The Sawmill School has subsequently been sold to the Hunterdon ESC.  Currently Tewksbury Elementary School houses our K-4 students and the Old Turnpike School houses our 5-8 students. 

The district employs a staff of 80 professionals, including a superintendent, two building principals, child study team, and highly qualified teachers.  Since 1995, our school enrollment has increased from 577 students to our current population of 752.

"Education is a social process; education is growth; education is not a preparation for life but is life itself." - John Dewey
