Principal's Message

Dear Sherman Elementary School Families,

I am excited to introduce myself as the new Principal of Sherman Elementary School. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such exceptional students, dedicated staff, and supportive families. 

I come to Sherman Elementary School with over 20 years of experience in education in the Roselle Park School District. Throughout these years, I have had the privilege of serving as a Roselle Park teacher and an athletic coach, helping to guide and inspire our students both in the classroom and on the field. Most recently, I took on the role of Vice Principal of Athletics, further expanding my knowledge and dedication to our school community as an administrator. Now, as I transition to my role as principal, I will bring all of these experiences with me to ensure your child’s success academically, socially, and emotionally.  

The Roselle Park community has played a significant role in shaping who I am today. Growing up in Roselle Park, I have been fortunate to experience firsthand the dedication of our teachers who instilled invaluable lessons from elementary school through high school. I have seen the positive impact our community members and educators have on the lives of our students. It is my goal to continue this tradition and to help foster a supportive and inspiring environment for all of our staff and students at Sherman Elementary School.

I am committed to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed and that their lives are enriched academically and socially. At Sherman Elementary, we will continue to create a nurturing, inclusive, and stimulating environment with a commitment to high academic standards that empowers our students to reach their full potential.

Thank you for entrusting our district with your child's education. As we embark on this new school year, I look forward to meeting and collaborating with each of you. Your involvement and partnership are essential to our success, and together, we can create a vibrant and dynamic school community. I look forward to the exciting new school year ahead.

Sincerely,

John Flecca

Principal
