Welcome to the website of Wesley D. Tisdale School. It is with great pride that I join the staff in continuing to foster an educational community that promotes learning as a rewarding and lifelong experience. Together we encourage children to function at their highest level by providing quality educational programs that are unique to their academic, emotional and social needs.

Tisdale School is one of two primary (preschool – grade 3) schools in Ramsey, NJ. We are committed to academic excellence in a caring environment where independence, critical thinking, problem solving, and a sense of responsibility are developed.  Our classroom experiences are designed so that all of our students develop the necessary skills and strategies to become lifelong learners and face the challenges of the 21^st century.  Our success with student performance on national, state, and local assessments can be directly attributed to the dedicated efforts of our teachers and support staff.

Parents are an integral part of our school community.  They volunteer and provide funds for a variety of activities which support the mission of the school such as assembly programs, class trips, school supplies, and upgrades to technology. This year the PTO and the Ramsey Education Foundation are supporting the Project Impact Arts in Education Program to host an author to sit in residence at our primary schools to work with students in the area of writing in grades K-3. This special program will combine our long standing, PTO sponsored, author visits to allow children the opportunity to become published authors.  This strong partnership with parents and the community benefits all of our students.

A recurring theme within Tisdale School is that everyone is a part of the community of learners. Our strong character education program ensures that our students develop the skills to work cooperatively with others, respect others, and think critically.
