TEECS Division B Science Olympiad
Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School
On Wednesday, Jan. 29, Thomas Edison EnergySmart Charter School (TEECS) will host a panel discussion, “Making the Most of My Charter School”.
This free event will provide insight and viewpoints from a diverse panel consisting of New Jersey education leaders, an administrator, a Charter School teacher as well as a parent who are all dedicated to bringing quality education to the students in the state. Held during National School Choice week, the panelists hope to shed light on the idea that parents do have a choice in finding the best possible experience for their students, because each child deserves a challenging education that provides a level of joy and engagement that not only meets that child’s individual needs but inspires a life-long learner.
“We are thrilled to offer this event to local parents,” said TEECS school lead, Oguz Yildiz. “School choice is one important way parents can play an active role in receiving the best education possible for their children. Now that families can choose what works for them, their students no longer need to struggle in an education system that doesn’t quite fit what their child might need.”
“All children deserve access to a great public education that best meet their individual needs. High-quality public charter schools are doing just that for 54,000 students across New Jersey,” said New Jersey Charter Schools Association (NJCSA) President Harry Lee. “We are excited to discuss and share the facts about how public charter schools are changing lives in the Garden State.”
