• Dear Second Grade Families,

    Welcome back! I hope you had an enjoyable summer and are ready to get back to school! My name is Mrs. Gabella and I will be your child’s math and science teacher for the 2024-2025 school year. This is my fifth year teaching second grade at Lincoln Avenue School, but I have been an educator for over 15 years. 

    This year your child may find that they have more responsibility than in previous years. They are expected to be active participants in their own learning. Students will be expected to complete assignments, attend meetings, participate in discussions, and complete lessons daily.  

    Parental involvement is also an important part of student success.  I encourage you to ask your child questions about his/her day, check assignments nightly and encourage responsible school behavior. Together, we will ensure your child has a successful year! 

    I know this year will look different than others, but we are going to do the best we can to have a fun and productive year! If you have any questions or concerns I ask that you please email me at GabellKa@orange.k12.nj.us. Thank you for your cooperation and I am looking forward to this school year!

    Sincerely, 

    Mrs. Gabella
