A Message From Ms. Turi,

Welcome to Bogert School!

Bogert School is home to more than 750 students in preschool through fifth grade, and it is my privilege to serve as Principal of this incredible school community. This year marks an exciting new chapter as we come together as one school, creating a unified elementary experience for our students and families.

At Bogert, we pride ourselves on providing a child-centered, nurturing environment where students feel known, supported, challenged, and excited to learn. From our youngest learners beginning their educational journey to our fifth graders preparing for middle school, our dedicated staff works to help every child develop the academic skills, confidence, curiosity, independence, and character needed for continued success.

Our curriculum fosters a passion for learning and discovery. Across grade levels and subject areas, instruction emphasizes strong foundations in literacy and mathematics while incorporating critical thinking, problem solving, inquiry, and meaningful connections to real-world experiences. Teachers use assessment to understand each learner and differentiate instruction to meet the varied strengths and needs of our students.

Learning at Bogert extends well beyond the core academic subjects. Students participate in Spanish, Art, Performing Arts, Technology/Media, Health, and Physical Education, along with opportunities in instrumental music, chorus, and band as they progress through the grades. Throughout the year, students have many opportunities to create, perform, lead, collaborate, participate in special programs and activities, and proudly share their accomplishments with our school community.

We recognize that children learn in different ways and at different rates. In addition to differentiated classroom instruction, Bogert provides a variety of programs and services to support our learners, including special education, English language services, academic intervention and basic skills support, and enrichment opportunities for gifted and talented students. Our goal is to ensure that every student receives the appropriate support and challenge needed to reach their full potential.

Our staff is equally committed to continued learning. Bogert teachers participate in ongoing professional development, collaborate with colleagues, and continually examine curriculum and instructional practices. Their dedication to professional growth directly strengthens the learning experiences we provide for our students.

We are also fortunate to benefit from the tremendous support of our families and the Upper Saddle River community. Our PTO, Educational Foundation, local organizations, and community partners contribute to our school in countless ways and help make Bogert a truly special place.

Strong communication between home and school is an important part of that partnership. Throughout the year, our school website, district app, calendars, newsletters, and other communications will provide families with important information, upcoming events, and updates about all that is happening at Bogert. I encourage families to stay connected and involved, and please never hesitate to reach out to me with questions, concerns, or anything you would like to share.

As we begin this new chapter, we have the opportunity to bring together the traditions, strengths, and relationships that have made our schools so special while building a new identity as one Bogert School community. I look forward to getting to know our students and families and celebrating all that we will accomplish together.

Welcome to Bogert School — we are so glad you are here!

Your Principal,

Jennifer Turi
