Saddle Brook Mission/ Vision Statement

The vision of the Saddle Brook Public School system is to foster an environment that promotes academic excellence through self-directed lifelong learning so that all students develop knowledge of self, community, and the world, actualized through self-awareness, self-respect, and tolerance.  Such an environment is one in which:

• Students feel physically and emotionally safe.

• Students are actively engaged in the learning process.

• Students are involved in educational activities which allow them to achieve the New Jersey State and National Standards at all grade levels.

• Students appreciate the important role communication plays in today’s global society and have opportunities to engage in a wide variety of communicative activities.

• Students have opportunities for exploration, inquiry, and interaction, which will allow them to take initiative, be creative, and learn from mistakes. 

• Students are encouraged to problem solve, think critically, and take responsibility for the decisions they make.
