Dear Franklin Park Families,

I hope you and your child(ren) are as excited to begin the 2025–2026 school year as I am! It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I step into my third year as Principal of Franklin Park School. I am honored to serve as the educational leader of FPS and look forward to continuing our important work.

This school year marks my eighteenth year in education. As a lifelong learner, I remain passionate about teaching and growing alongside our students and staff. I enjoy guiding and supporting our dedicated educators while building meaningful connections with families. I’m grateful for the lessons we’ve learned together and excited to carry that momentum forward into the new year.

In addition to being an educator, I am a proud parent of three children. This September, Joseph will begin tenth grade, Leah will enter seventh grade, and Kyle will be starting first grade. As a parent myself, I understand just how vital the partnership between home and school is to a child’s success. When families and schools work together, we grow stronger—together.

At Franklin Park School, it is our mission to provide a safe, inclusive, and equitable learning environment where every child feels a sense of belonging, pride, and purpose. Our theme for the year, “Together We Grow,” reflects our shared commitment to nurturing every student's academic, social, and emotional development. Through collaboration, communication, and care, we will empower our FPS Bees to reach their full potential.

A new school year brings excitement, fresh beginnings, and endless possibilities. We look forward to filling our halls with joy, curiosity, and the sound of learning. Please remember—my door is always open. Your input, ideas, and support are valued and appreciated. We also invite you to join us throughout the year at events like our FPS Admin Coffee and Chat, where we can connect and grow as a community.

If you need anything, I can be reached at jstein@franklinboe.org or 732-297-5666. I look forward to a wonderful year ahead—because at FPS, Together We Grow.

Warm regards,
Jennifer Stein
Principal, Franklin Park School
