OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

132 THOMAS STREET

CRANFORD, NJ 07065

Dear Parents/Guardians, Students, Staff, and Community members,

I am humbled, honored, and extremely proud to be the superintendent of schools for the Cranford Public School District.  Cranford has a wonderful reputation and a proud legacy of outstanding achievement and excellence. I look forward to building a close partnership with all of you to determine how I can best assist the District in supporting and enhancing Cranford’s already proud traditions and accomplishments.

I am currently in the midst of a look, listen, and learn tour which initiated prior to my official arrival on July 1.  After touring all of the schools, meeting with board members, administrators, teachers and parents, speaking with students and community members, and attending several community events, I can affirm that the sterling reputation that Cranford enjoys is well deserved.  The community is incredibly warm and welcoming and one in which people genuinely care for and look out for one another.  I understand why community members exude such pride when stating they are a Cranford resident and now, as your new superintendent, I am excited to share in that pride as I serve this extraordinary community.

 A partnership among all stakeholders is vital to providing the outstanding educational opportunities that are already afforded to our children and for developing ways to enhance and create new experiences that benefit our youth.  One powerful way to provide feedback into the current programming and help chart our course for the future is to engage in the district's strategic planning process.  As the current five year plan for Cranford culminates at the end of the 2017-2018 school year, please know that there will be many opportunities throughout this school year to engage in the process as we work towards establishing a new plan.  Additionally, I will be a very visible member of the community; never hesitate to provide me with feedback on our programs.  

I am grateful for this opportunity and am excited about all we will accomplish together!  

Warmly,

Dr. Scott Rubin

Superintendent of Schools
