I am very excited for the 2025-2026 school year! This will be the 6th year of my teaching career. I enjoyed every bit of my first 5 years, right here at Westwood Middle School. I can't wait to see everyone again. I completed my schooling at Montclair State University. At MSU I was lucky enough to be a part of a dual degree program, one in which I earned my Bachelors of Science in Health and Physical Education in May of 2019, and then finished my Masters in the Art of Teaching with the certification to teach students with disabilities in May of 2020. Teaching is by far my biggest passion, and it is because of all of you (my students). I can't wait to start a new year with all of you and gain new memories and experiences along the way.
To all my students, I am here for you. Your worries, anxieties, fears, and troubles, are now my worries, anxieties, fears, and troubles. Whatever it is you may be going through, I am here to go through it and get past it with you every step of the way. AND your successes, your goals, your achievements, I will be right there cheering you on and helping you get there.
Remember me for my kindness, and let others remember you by how kind you were to them.
Sincerely,
Mr. Orsini
