Biography:
Hello! Welcome to 2nd grade. My name is Vanessa Saroli. I have been teaching in Jefferson School for eleven years. This is my third year teaching second grade. I believe education is a two-way communication between home and school. Please feel free to contact me through email with any questions or concerns. I know together we will make this school year a very successful one!

I’m available to meet with parents/guardians in person or virtually to discuss student progress. Please call our Parent Liaison (Nancy Francisco) at: 201-348-5960, ext. 3111 to schedule an appointment with me during a class special.

Classroom Procedures and Policies:
Homework: I give homework every day, except on Fridays (sometimes a review will be given for a test the following week), holidays and breaks. Homework consists of 1 math, 1 reading and 1 spelling/phonics.
School Folders: Every day your child will bring home a homework folder with all of their homework and important information. Please take a few minutes to review the papers and comments, sign and date all tests, and return it to school with your child the next school day. You can also write me a note with any concerns/questions and place them inside their folder or through email at [email protected]
Assessments/Tests:
Reading Tests:Students will be given a reading selection test every Friday. The test is divided into the following four sections: Vocabulary, Phonics, Comprehension, and Written Selection. Some weekly tests will consist of NJSLA Questions along with a Prose Constructed Response (PCR) for the story of the week.
Spelling Tests: Students will be given a spelling test every Friday.
Math Tests: Students will be given a math test approximately every two weeks once a topic is completed. Students will be notified prior to the test date. Before the test date, students will be given a math review sheet for homework. This will allow them to review the strategies that were introduced to them during class time.
Social Studies: Students will be given social studies tests once each chapter is completed. Students will be notified a week prior to the test date. Before the test date, students will be given a study guide to complete and review at home.
