Jenkintown School Board Brief
August, 2024 - Vol. 3 Issue 7
Message from Dr. Megan O'Brien, School Board President
Dear School Community:
Another summer has just flown by, and the Board and Administrative Team are excited to welcome our students back to school. The Board would like to also welcome two new additions to our administrative team - Mr. Steve Van Mater, Director of Human Resources and Curriculum and Mr. Matthew Shade, Athletic Director. Steve and Matt have already hit the ground running, and we're looking forward to what they bring to the team this academic year. We hope all of our students and their families are looking forward to the 2024-25 school year!
Warmly,
Dr. Megan O'Brien
