Superintendent's Message

July 1, 2024

Dear Midland Park Community,

As I officially begin my tenure as Superintendent of the Midland Park School District, I wanted to introduce myself and express my excitement about the opportunity to lead our schools. As a lifelong resident of Bergen County, I have always admired the strong sense of community in Midland Park. It was this great pride that Midland Park has in its community that initially attracted me to the opportunity to serve as your Superintendent. As I started to learn more about our schools it became increasingly evident that working together we have an opportunity to build on prior success and enhance an already special school district.

While working together doesn’t mean that we always need to agree, it does require that we always listen. Examining different perspectives, learning about others’ experiences, and showing empathy will strengthen us both individually and as a community. As I transition into my new role, I look forward to listening and learning more about our school, our community, and our students. To that end I will be setting up opportunities to get to know our community through group and individual “listening sessions.” This will allow me to begin to gather more perspective about our district and help shape our plans for the future.

Finally, please know I firmly believe that in any school community people are its greatest asset. In the preceding weeks, I have had the opportunity to meet some of our staff, parents, students, and community members and I know we have a group of people in Midland Park that are committed to the success of our schools. I am eager to join you in that commitment and look forward to working to make every day in Midland Park a rewarding experience for both students and staff.

Have a happy and safe Fourth of July. Hopefully the holiday brings along some sunny weather and a chance to celebrate with family and friends.

Sincerely,

Kevin Ulmer
