This summer the Manchester Township School District welcomed a new Director of Curriculum, Mrs. Tracey Raimondo, to the Administrative Team.
Mrs. Raimondo is a Jersey Girl, born and raised in the Garden State. She has spent her entire career in the Manchester Township School District, first leading students as a teacher, later being promoted to lead staff as a Vice Principal, and now moving into her new role as Director of Curriculum. “I am proud I have spent my almost 30-year career invested in this school district and community,” says Tracey Raimondo, Director of Curriculum. “Blue and gold runs through my veins. I am excited to continue to work with such a great team of educational professionals as the Director of Curriculum. Together we will continue to push Manchester to new heights!”
The goal of the Director of Curriculum is to provide leadership in the development of the PreK-12 instructional programs and the achievement of New Jersey Student Learning Standards, district academic goals, and objectives. Mrs. Raimondo helps to develop the school district’s academic goals, provides support for those goals, and ensures their execution throughout the school year. She has always been heavily involved in district-level committees and activities which has provided her with perspective and the experience of working with district-wide curriculum and instruction. In addition to her leadership role within the school district, Mrs. Raimondo is the Executive Director of NJASCD Central and has been involved in organizing EdCamp Jersey Shore.
As the Director of Curriculum, Mrs. Raimondo now has the opportunity to directly impact and support staff and students at all school levels as they work to reach their full potential. “It is so rewarding to have the opportunity to work with all parents and staff in the school district, even some who I taught when they went to school. I love seeing their successes and working with them as dedicated partners in support of this school district, our community, and our students’ success,” says Tracey Raimondo, Director of Curriculum. “Over the years, I have developed a great working relationship with parents, students, and administrators across the district. These working relationships are essential when collaborating toward achieving our school district’s academic goals and striving toward our district motto of ‘Excellence by Example.’ I look forward to continuing to work in partnership with our school community as the Director of Curriculum.”
Mrs. Raimondo is a proud wife, mom of two amazing daughters, and dog mom to two puggles and a German Shepherd. When she is not at work, she loves to read and enjoys the beach and baking.
