What people say about Ms. Check:
"Stephanie has been amazing to work with! During my first year, she helped me with my students and offered advice when I was stuck. She’s never afraid to step in and help even when she doesn’t know the students. I learned so much from her in the short time we were together. Her energy spreads and can cheer you up in an instant. Everyone should get the opportunity to work with her!"

MARCIA S
Sixth Grade Teacher
"Stephanie's positive outlook shines through both in and outside her classroom. As a mentor teacher, I was able to observe her interactions with her students in the classroom. Her students are focused, and eager to learn, and they truly come to enjoy being engaged under her guidance. Stephanie seeks new strategies and ideas and consistently rises to the challenge. She steps outside of her classroom and strives to become invested in the school and community. Whether she is running Student Council, attending sporting events for current or prior students, attending NJHS Inductions, buddy room support for behavioral students, or just helping out a colleague, everyone around her benefits from her energy. She stepped up from kindergarten to third, and absolutely excelled in her new role. As a colleague, I sincerely miss working with someone who is so enthusiastic and positive, and if I could convince her to move up, I would definitely support her in teaching high school! Anyone who crosses her path is left with a positive and lasting impact."

"Ms. Check has solid direct instruction and implements a variety of student engagement strategies that keep students interested and engaged. She is starting to advance student to student questioning and discussion, beginning with the foundation presented during her formal observation.
