Dear Franklin Park Families, 

I hope you and your child(ren) are as excited to start the 2023-2024 school year as I am! It is with great excitement that I introduce myself to you as the new Principal of Franklin Park School. I am humbled to have been selected as the educational leader of FPS, and look forward to getting to know you and our wonderful school community.   

The 2023-2024 school year marks my sixteenth year in education. My previous roles include being an elementary classroom teacher, Reading Supervisor, Vice Principal in Irvington, and most recently, the Vice Principal of Elizabeth Avenue School. As an administrator for the past six years, I have continued to expand my knowledge and love for teaching. I enjoy guiding and supporting educational staff, while connecting with students and their families. I am thankful to have the opportunity to bring all that I have learned and experienced with me to Franklin Park’s collaborative school community. 

In addition to being an educator, my husband, David, and I are proud parents of three children. In September, Joseph will be in eighth grade, Leah will be in fifth grade, and Kyle will be in Pre-K 4. Our family is looking forward to celebrating three graduations next June! As a parent myself, I understand that a strong connection between school and home is vital for the success of our children. 

It is my mission to foster a safe learning environment in which each student has a sense of pride and belonging, and access to equitable opportunities. Through open communication, inclusivity, guidance and support, your children will feel empowered to achieve their highest social, emotional, and intellectual potential as an FPS Bee.

The start of each new school year brings with it such excitement and enthusiasm, and we look forward to filling the school’s halls and classrooms with your children and their love of learning. Please know that my door is always open, and I truly welcome your input and support. I can be reached at jstein@franklinboe.org or 732-297-5666. I look forward to meeting you all soon. 

Warm regards, 

Jennifer Stein 

Principal of Franklin Park School
