Piscataway School District Celebrates National Recognition and Academic Success

The Piscataway School District was lauded for its national achievements in community outreach and communications, alongside notable academic successes, at a recent Piscataway School Board meeting. The district earned four national awards, the second-highest total in New Jersey, including an Award of Excellence for the annual School guide and calendar, and awards of Merit for social media, the superintendent reports newsletter, and photography. Acknowledgment was given to Gary Miller, the Public Information Officer, for his efforts in these areas.

In addition to the communications accolades, the School Board shared impressive academic results from AP exams, highlighting exceptional scores in AP US History, Physics, African-American Studies, and Pre-Calculus. The district’s students performed above the New Jersey and global averages in these subjects.

The meeting also addressed updates to the Emergency Virtual Instruction Plan, which covers critical areas such as student quarantining, attendance, technology equity, and staff remote work. Despite the plan being a carryover from the previous year, with no changes, approval was sought to maintain preparedness for any future needs.

In other matters, a discussion took place concerning the District’s annual goals, with a suggestion to include a specific objective focused on implementing safety procedures to ensure the security of schools. Additionally, the meeting touched upon the need for equitable volunteer opportunities within the district’s Athletic Booster Club.
