A Message from the Principal

Welcome to Margaret L. Vetter School, home of the Tigers!

At Vetter School, affectionately known as "Vetter," we proudly house grades 4 and 5 for the Eatontown Public School District, as well as three Pre-K classes. We are a vibrant community committed to providing a nurturing home for over 200 students and 40 faculty members.

At Vetter School, we celebrate diversity as a strength that enriches our community. By embracing and honoring the contributions of varied ideas, values, and cultures, we foster an atmosphere of mutual respect. Our dedicated staff is passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive academic environment where every student can thrive. Utilizing collaborative planning time, we continuously analyze data and refine instruction to ensure each student reaches their full potential.

Our educators are more than instructors; they are mentors, guides, and lifelong learners. They encourage students to think critically, explore new ideas, and develop personally. Through leadership opportunities such as school jobs and participation in service learning clubs, our students gain valuable skills in leadership, teamwork, and organization, empowering them to become positive contributors to their communities.

We understand that education is a collaborative effort between the school, families, and the broader community. At Vetter, we value and cherish this partnership. With the support of our PTA and family engagement events, we come together to celebrate our students' achievements and build a supportive network for their success.

Every morning, we inspire our students to "ROAR " today by embodying the traits of Responsibility, Outstanding Behavior, Achievement, and Respect. These core values guide our Tigers toward bright futures, encouraging them to shine every day!
