Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to first grade! My name is Marisa Torre and I am going to be your child’s first grade teacher this year. I am very excited that your child will be in my class!
Let me begin by sharing some information about myself professionally and personally. I graduated in 2009 from Montclair State University with a degree/ teaching certification in K-12 Social Studies Education. After substituting in another district for a few years I decided to continue my education with a K-6 elementary certification from Rider University. I completed my student teaching semester in 2013 here at MacAfee Road School in kindergarten with Mrs. Geyer for 8 weeks then finished the last 8 weeks of the semester at the American School of Barcelona. After student teaching, I received a maternity leave replacement position here at MacAfee teaching kindergarten. This will be my second year teaching first grade and I cannot wait to get the year started! In my spare time I enjoy reading, shopping and spending time with my family.
First grade is a thrilling time as children begin new adventures in the world of learning. I am looking forward to a wonderful and productive year working with your child. I strive each day to make learning interesting and enriching for every child. However, I need your help in making this year as successful as can be! We need to work together as a team to help your child develop emotionally and academically. If we work together and communicate, I know your child will have a successful year!
If you have any questions or concerns, e-mail is the best way I can be reached:

Please look in your child’s backpack after the school year begins for further information.
Enjoy the rest of the summer!
Marisa Torre
