They're here! We are so delighted to welcome all students to school for their first day. We hope everyone enjoyed meeting their teachers, making friends, learning new schedules and getting the new year underway! Thank you to all of our families for their patience and our fantastic bus drivers for their efforts too!

Three cheers for RFIS! Reading-Fleming Intermediate School was proudly represented at the New Jersey Department of Education’s Teacher Climate and Culture Institute, held at The College of New Jersey on July 29. Dr. Tony DeMarco, Mrs. Vanessa Ahmed, Mrs. Lori Koehler, and Mrs. Sarah Opdyke presented on Creating a School Culture of Empowerment. Their session highlighted how RFIS embraces a distributive leadership model, one that empowers educators to lead through their unique skills and expertise. This leadership approach builds trust, fosters shared ownership, and engages teachers in decision-making. Strengthening school climate, this framework boosts teacher confidence and positively impacts student learning. Administrators and educators from across the state gained insight into how RFIS is leading the way in cultivating a thriving and collaborative school community. We're so proud of our Huskies!
