Dear Martin J. Ryerson Middle School Families,

I hope you are all enjoying a restful, relaxing and safe summer. It is a privilege to introduce myself to you, as the new Principal of Martin J. Ryerson Middle School in Ringwood Public Schools. I look forward to partnering with an outstanding team in Ryerson School and a great administrative team as we look forward to creating and providing experiences which will enhance your child’s social, emotional and academic development. Just to give you a brief background of myself, I come to the Ringwood community with 11 years of Kindergarten through 8th grade teaching experience. I am now in my 12th year of building leadership experience: 5 years as a Vice Principal and 6 years as a Principal, all spanningKindergarten through 8th grades, as well. I come from a family of educators, as my wife is a teacher in Cranford Public Schools and along with our 13 year old twins, we are certainly no strangers to the Middle School years! I am both excited and very fortunate to move into this new role, where I will have the opportunity to team with such a dedicated learning community in having a more direct and meaningful impact on the education for each and every student. I eagerly look forward to carrying on many of the past Ryerson traditions along with the excitement of what lies ahead in the upcoming school year. I am very lucky to have worked with such great people in all of the prior school districts and communities that I have served in. None of these could have been possible without first making positive connections with the members of my team and the families and members of the outside community. It is through these connections that then formed into great relationships which we built on and worked together in supporting our children and shape the whole-child. I now am very excited to begin my journey in Ringwood and Ryerson School as we share this focus. At Martin J. Ryerson Middle School, we believe in a strong connection between school and home. My goal as Principal is to provide the leadership necessary in fostering a safe, engaging, formative, challenging and enriching environment in our school that supports the development in each and every one of our students. I look forward to meeting both you and your child(ren) throughout the year as we go through this educational journey together! I look forward to the opportunities of meeting each of you as we work together in making this a great year!

Warm Regards, David Waxman
Principal
Martin J. Ryerson Middle School
