Dear Robbinsville Community,

September has arrived, and we are warmly welcoming our students back for the 2025-26 school year. I am greatly looking forward to my first full year as Superintendent of the Robbinsville Public Schools, leading our school district to meet the needs of all students. Anything is possible if we collectively set, and adequately fund, a path which we chart together. 
 
Every year, more than 3 million students graduate from high schools across the country, and I guarantee a majority of them have at least one teacher who opened their eyes to something new or pointed them in an exciting direction that changed everything. Multiple learning opportunities can illuminate a child’s path, and we need to support this diversity of opportunity in our programmatic offerings. 
 
Teachers are central to helping us meet the expectations set by the Board of Education, as guided by our engaged community. Each year, we set ambitious goals for the district, designed to help foster a stronger academic culture in Robbinsville where clearly articulated curricula, expectations and attitudes motivate students to achieve academic success beyond their dreams. 
 
As we open our doors for another school year, our four focus areas are: 

• World language expansion
• Student & staff support systems
• Facilities & financial innovation
• Rigor, innovation and student pathways

Together we established these focus areas, but ultimately it is our teachers who create the real opportunities for a better tomorrow. Teachers are able to help us meet students where they are, as these professionals have unmatched academic insight into the pupils they see and interact with every day. 
 
In Robbinsville, we are dedicated to ensuring teachers are heard and supported as they continue to do exceptional work in our district, collectively raising our standard of excellence to greater heights. Together, we can set the standard for all schools in Mercer County. 
 
I’d like to thank our entire team, and our great community, for the wonderful partnership in place to meet the needs of our students. Let’s make 2025-26 another great school year together. 
 
But, most of all- Welcome back to our students!

Patrick Pizzo, Ed.D.
Superintendent
