Welcome to 3rd Grade!
My name is Christine Apa and I will be your child’s third grade teacher. I have a variety of fun and exciting learning activities planned for the upcoming school year.
I hope that you enjoyed the summer and are ready to embark on a new and exciting school year. Parental involvement is an extremely important part of the educational process. In order for your child to be successful, I feel that it is imperative for us to work as a team. I am confident that by working together we can make this a special year for your child.
Keeping the lines of communication open is essential in order to give your child the best possible education. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting you in the near future. If you need to contact me the best way is through email at capa@tenafly.k12.nj.us. You can also call Smith School at 201-816-7715.
