Matawan-Aberdeen Middle School

Dear Parents and Guardians,

     Welcome back! This year is all about preparing your child to succeed in the upcoming years and beyond. Now is the time to develop a strong work ethic and solid study habits. This will be a year of growth and change and should be an exciting time for your child.

I have an advanced degree in both Mathematics and Education.  I have been teaching mathematics for 20 years.  Many years were devoted to teaching middle school and I have a few years of high school experience as well. I am currently teaaching a few classes at Saint Peters University in Math and Math Education.  As a mother of many children, including an eighth grade son, I am facing many of the same challenges, as we all learn to navigate the "new normal."  I am confident that if we all work together we will succeed!

     Before anything else, I want you to know that I care deeply about the learning and well being of all my students. I will always do my best to be as honest and as fair as I can possibly be with them and with you. I am excited to work with all my students and to help them grow into responsible, kind, and hardworking young adults who will have developed the skill of critical thinking.

     Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns! I want us to work together to help your child. The best way for us to have constant communication is through the parent portal and email.  It takes a village and I embrace us all working together with open communication. 

     My goal is to make learning and understanding math easy and fun for all students. Thinking and problem solving skills are necessary to succeed in high school, college, and beyond. My goal is to help develop those skills.

     I look forward to working with you and your child to make this a positive and successful school year!  If you need to contact me, I can be reached at cgoldstone@marsd.org
