I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself.  My name is Ms. Tamme Manganelli, and I am continuing to teach the elective course in the middle school called, "Community Partnerships".  Hopefully we can make even more improvements. I am also working as an interventionist in the fourth grade for English Language Arts.

This is my thirty-third year at the Central School.  Prior to that, I attended Rowan University where I received my BA for Teacher of the Handicapped.  I hold certificates to teach Special Education, Elementary Education K-8, Reading K-8, and The Wilson Reading Program. I also earned a Master’s Degree in the Art of Teaching from Marygrove College in 2002. Additionally, I earned my Supervision Certification, from Rowan University, in 2018. Most recently, I was trained, over the course of eight days, to implement the Responsive Classroom philosophies our school district has adopted by completing both Elementary and Advanced Elementary Courses.  I was most honored to be named Keyport's Teacher of the Year in 2004 and honored to be named a NJ Exemplary Educator in 2024. At school, I am a member of the Intervention and Referral Services Team, I am a dyslexia screener, and I sit on many committees including ScIP/DEAC, School Improvement, and Title I Stakeholders, and I am the advisor for the National Junior Honor Society.  During my free time, I enjoy reading, golfing, traveling, and spending time with my friends and family.

Additionally, this year, I am continuing to take on the role of Climate Grant Supervisor. Our district was so fortunate to secure a grant extension in order to immerse our students in climate awareness education utilizing our local environment as a springboard for lessons, conversations, and real life experiences.

I am very enthusiastic about my positions and my mission is to assure that your child will gain the tools needed to conquer the academic, social, and emotional challenges he/she faces each day.

I believe that a positive and safe classroom environment will instill a love of learning in your child.  I also believe that positive thinking and organization will help your child achieve his/her goals.

I am excited to work closely with the entire staff this year as we work to build our "community". Most of all, I am highly motivated to work with the entire Keyport Community this year. I look forward to many rewarding experiences.  I will be in contact with you throughout the year to alert you about your child’s progress.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.  I hope we can work together to achieve your child’s goals because your involvement will make all of the difference.
