Mrs. Schwartz
I am so excited to welcome everyone back for another amazing school year! There's something truly special about the energy a new school year brings- fresh faces, new goals, and endless possibilities for learning and growth. As always, I'm committed to creating a welcoming, engaging, and supportive classroom where every student feels seen, heard, and encouraged to shine.
I come to Mountview Road School with 11 years of experience, having taught both special and general education in Parsippany. My commitment to fostering an inclusive environment for all students is stronger than ever, and I look forward to working closely with you to ensure each child’s growth and success.
Together, let’s make this a fantastic year of learning, growth, and community!

Homework :
Reading
Students are encouraged to read for 15-20 minutes each night. This can be done independently or with a parent or guardian. Reading together offers a great opportunity to bond and build your child's literacy skills.
Math
For math homework, focus on practicing basic math facts and reviewing current topics covered in class. Here are some helpful ways to make studying fun and effective: flashcards, math games (online or apps), daily practice with real-life math, and practice sheets.
Some reminders for Home:
Create a Dedicated Workspace and Build a Homework Routine.
-Choose a quiet area where your child can focus and keep their materials organized.
-Be available for questions, but encourage your child to try independently first. This boosts problem-solving skills and confidence.
Foster Independence and Responsibility
-Give age-appropriate tasks and allow children to make small decisions, like organizing their school supplies or packing their snack and/or lunch.
-Teach them to manage their time and prioritize tasks.
-Let them experience small challenges and solve problems so they learn resilience.
Encourage Healthy Habits for a Good Night's Sleep
-Set a consistent bedtime and follow a calming nighttime routine.
-Limit screens before bed to promote better sleep.
