Welcome Back!
We are excited for the 26/27 School year
Dear EPS Families,
We are thrilled to welcome you to the 2026–2027 school year at Eldridge Park Elementary! We hope your family has enjoyed a summer filled with opportunities to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories. While summer seems to pass by so quickly, it has been a busy and exciting season here at EPS as we prepare to welcome our students back to school.
We had a terrific summer hosting the Summer Shines program, where students learned, explored and had a joyful experience during the month of July. Our custodial and maintenance teams have worked tirelessly to ensure that every classroom and learning space is clean, organized, and ready for another wonderful year of learning. Mrs. Eggert, our Principal's Secretary, has been hard at work supporting our teachers and families and making sure everything is in place for a smooth start to the school year. We can't wait to begin another year of partnering with you as we continue to live our school motto: At EPS, Every Person Shines.
We know many families are eagerly anticipating classroom placements. Student schedules and classroom assignments will be emailed to each family on Wednesday, August 19, by 3:00 p.m. Families will receive an email containing their child's classroom placement along with a link to their teacher's welcome letter. As part of our continued commitment to being environmentally conscious, paper copies will not be mailed home. Genesis will open on Monday, August 24, at 3:00 pm.
If you have not received your child's placement information by Monday, August 24, at 3:00 p.m., please contact us at aamiet@ltps.org or aeggert@ltps.org, and we will be happy to assist you. We also encourage you to check your spam or junk email folder to ensure you receive all school communications.

Ms. Tangen, Preschool Teacher
This is my 20th year teaching, 11th in preschool.
I have two daughters, Kyleigh and Sierra, both away to college this fall.
I enjoy running, listening to audiobooks while knitting, and collegiate sports.
This summer, I have discovered a new obsession: JonnyPops Popsicles!
Ms. Bai, Preschool Teacher
My name is Jane Bai, and I am absolutely thrilled to join the wonderful Pre-K team this school year. Early childhood is such a magical time of exploration and discovery, and I am honored to walk alongside your children as they take some of their very first steps into school life. I hold a Master of Science in Early Childhood Education from Hunter College and am a certified, licensed teacher in New Jersey, New York, and Florida. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of teaching in diverse public and private school settings across all three states—including public school classrooms in Trenton and Bordentown, as well as designing curriculum and content with the Sesame Street Workshop. I am deeply passionate about early child development, Vygotsky’s learning principles, and creating a warm, inclusive, and joyful classroom environment where every child feels valued, safe, and excited to learn. My goal is to cultivate a love for learning through meaningful play, positive collaboration, and creative exploration. Outside of school, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and our 10-year-old son, and exploring nature and the world. I look forward to a fantastic school year filled with learning, laughter, and a strong, supportive partnership with all of our families!
Ms. Qua'Nasia Gibli, School Social Worker
Hello! My name is Qua’Nasia Gibli, and I am the School Social Worker serving Eldridge Park and Slackwood Elementary Schools. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Stockton University and my Master's degree in Social Work from Rutgers University. This will be my sixth year as a school social worker and my second year in Lawrence Township Public Schools. As a proud alumna of Lawrence Township Public Schools, I am excited to serve the community that helped shape me. I look forward to partnering with students, families, and staff to support a successful school year!
Ms. Cento, Instructional Assistant

Ms. Sikora, Instructional Assistant
Ms. Uddin, Instructional Assistant
Ms. Weidenbaum, Occupational Therapist
My name is Joelle Weidenbaum. I've been an Occupational Therapist for over 10 years and have been in the district for almost 6 years. I love working on hand strengthening, crafts and sensory strategies. I have a 4-year-old son named Wesley and when I'm not working I love running and going on family adventures!
Ms. Geter, Preschool Teacher
Hi! My name is Jaime Geter, and I am so excited to be joining the preschool team at Eldridge Park! Lawrence Township Public Schools already feels especially meaningful to me because my mom spent 19 years in the district as a school counselor at Lawrence Intermediate School. I grew up locally and graduated from Villa Victoria Academy, a small all-girls Catholic school, before earning my bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University.
My experience with young children began long before becoming a classroom teacher. I have worked as a live-in nanny, taught children through a science enrichment program, and worked with babies in an infant room. I later found my way into early childhood education and have spent the past several years working in preschool, most recently teaching Pre-K in Trenton.
Outside of school, I enjoy Pilates, cooking, long walks, listening to audiobooks, and spending time with my family and friends. I’m especially looking forward to building a strong sense of community in my classroom, collaborating with my colleagues, and forming meaningful partnerships with my students and their families. I am so happy to be starting this next chapter at Eldridge Park!
Ms. Delutis, Art Teacher
I am so excited to start this new journey at Eldridge Park School! It is my 5th school year with this wonderful community! I attended The College of NJ majoring in Elementary Education and Art. Art has always been a passion of mine from childhood thru adulthood. I have been able to use my love of art and children in many ways, including thru the PTA at my children's schools and thru my roles with the YMCA. When the opportunity opened, I enrolled in an alternate route program to finish my teaching cert and begin my career as a teacher. I am very thankful for this opportunity and can't wait to create a classroom full of art and fun!
