Mr. MacIsaac
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Welcome to the 2022-23 school year! My name is Sean MacIsaac and I have been a Physical Education teacher in the Cliffside Park School district for the past 10 years. In addition to teaching I have been a basketball coach for 19 years at the high school level, as well as experience coaching football and track and field. My teaching philosophy stems from my passion for movement. It is my goal every year for my students to find something within all the skills and activities that we cover in my class for them to take with them into their daily lives.

Often students as me questions regarding how to get involved in different sport programs that are offered in Cliffside Park. Within our school district we offer scholastic athletics for students 7th-12th grade. Information is readily available for those of that age group. However, K-6 has plenty of offerings as well through the Cliffside Park Recreation Department. Below is the phone number and website to access this information for your son or daughter.
