Roebling Elementary School
October 2026
From the Principal
What a great first month we’ve had at Roebling! 💙💛
It has been so wonderful seeing our students settle into their routines, build friendships, learn new things, and fill our school with so much energy and excitement. We are off to such a great start, and I couldn’t be more proud of our Roebling students and staff!
And now… October is here, and it is JAM-PACKED! From special school activities and family events to learning celebrations and plenty of opportunities to come together as a school community, there is so much happening this month. Be sure to check out the details below so you don’t miss anything!
I also want to say how sorry I am that I missed Back to School Night due to being sick. I was so disappointed that I couldn’t be there to welcome everyone and spend time with our families. Thank you for your understanding and for all of the kind messages. I truly appreciate them!
Thank you for continuing to support our school, our teachers, and most importantly, our kids. We are going to have a great October at Roebling!
💙💛 Growing Kind Hearts & Curious Minds,
Barb Fazekas
Principal
