Carteret Middle School Families,

It is our pleasure to welcome everyone for another great year at Carteret Middle School for in
person instruction. We are excitedly preparing our classrooms so that your children can fill them
with their energy and enthusiasm for learning. Given the difficulties over the last year and a half,
it is our mission to build a Carteret Middle School community that focuses on accelerated
learning while we assist every child to feel welcome, safe, connected and an integral part of our
Carteret Middle School family as we strive for academic excellence and a focus on social and
emotional growth.

Carteret Middle School students will gain the skills academically, socially and emotionally to
prepare themselves for High School. This year’s programs will focus on accelerated learning
providing all students with individualized instruction to meet their academic needs. Our
Restorative Justice approach to resolving student conflicts will enable students to reflect and
repair fractured relationships through reconciliation. The Wingman program will train our students
to become socially and emotionally prepared for life’s challenges. Our Rising Rambler initiative
will enable students to build positive relationships with their peers.

I look forward to spending time with your children, getting to know their personalities, learning
styles, and interests. I will celebrate their successes, encourage them to know that they are both
valued and have a special place in our school community. My goal is to guide and support both
our staff and students to reach their highest potential in a safe and nurturing environment.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any suggestions or concerns.  

Thank you,

Tara Romero

Principal
