Hello! I am thrilled to be a part of the fifth grade team at Smith School again this year!  This is my ninth year here in Tenafly and I have an additional eight years of classroom teaching experience in Bergen County. 

We can all agree that last year challenged us in ways that we could have never imagined. I am beyond ready to begin the process of getting back to business as usual in the classroom.  I am eagerly awaiting the day that I can see the unmasked smiling faces of my students!  I remain positive about the coming year and I am looking forward to an exciting, productive experience working with you and your child. 

I am dedicated to doing everything I can to ensure the behavioral, academic, and social success of each and every one of my students.  I am also committed to the importance of parent involvement in a student's education.  I firmly believe that a child receives the best education possible when parents and teachers work as a team.  Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have.  The best way to contact me is via email at cmatuszewski@tenafly.k12.nj.us
