About Me

Hi! My name is Mrs. Tara Ridgway and I am excited to have your child in my kindergarten classroom in room 100. This will be my 15th year teaching at Roebling School. This is my 12th year teaching kindergarten. I also taught first grade for 3 years. From a young age, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I received my education degree in Early Childhood Education from Rider University. In May of 2020, I completed my Master's Degree in Education at Rider University. I love teaching and have spent many summers working as head teacher at a summer camp on Long Beach Island. I also enjoy going to the beach, reading and spending time with family and friends including my husband, Bill, our 2 year old son, Will, and our dog Molly. I look forward to a fantastic school year. I believe that parent-teacher communication is a strong component in kindergarten success. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and/or concerns throughout the school year.
