• Dear Partners in Learning,                                                                                  

                Welcome to our Second Grade Classroom at the Jeffrey Clark School! We hope you had a wonderful and restful summer vacation! Second grade is such an exciting and busy year for our students. Your child will experience various hands on activities and be a part of a wonderful learning community!

                We consider it a great privilege and responsibility to be your child’s co-teachers this year. This is Mrs. Gentile’s fourth year teaching second grade and         Mrs. Matteo’s eighth year teaching in the East Greenwich School District. As educators, we value our jobs and the opportunity that we will have to teach your child the requirements he or she will need to complete the school year successfully.  Your child's success in our classroom is our number one priority.   We are looking forward to helping your child reach their full potential in learning.

                Communication between parents and teachers is very important for the success of a child. We look forward to meeting and working with all of you! If you have expertise in a specific field, an unusual hobby, or a cultural background that you would like to share with the class, please let us know! We would love to have you visit our classroom. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at gentilea@eastgreenwich.k12.nj.us and matteok@eastgreenwich.k12.nj.us.

                Thank you and we look forward to meeting each of you at Back to School Night,

    Mrs. Katherine Matteo and Mrs. Alison Gentile
