Mrs. Maureen Bontempo

Hello Hmieleski Famiies, 

Welcome to the 2025/2026 school year! My name is Maureen Bontempo, and I am one of the Special Education Teachers here at Edmund Hmieleski. Just a little about myself: I was recognized as support staff of the year for the 2024/2025 school year and have been a Perth Amboy district employee since September 2014. I currently hold three New Jersey Teaching Certifications: Teacher of Students with Disabilities, Preschool through Grade 3, and Elementary K-6. My highest level of education is a Master’s Degree from Monmouth University. My favorite motto is learn to play; play to learn. Once children learn to play, their little minds grow in so many ways. I look forward to singing, dancing, laughing, and exploring with your children. I will be working closely with your child's classroom teacher to provide individualized instruction, enrich the classroom environment, and to provide classroom support. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. I look forward to collaborating with all of you. 

Hola familias de Hmieleski,

 ¡Bienvenidos al año escolar 2025/2026! Me llamo Maureen Bontempo y soy una de las maestras de educación especial de Edmund Hmieleski. Un poco sobre mí: Fui reconocida como personal de apoyo del año en el año escolar 2024/2025 y he sido empleada del distrito de Perth Amboy desde septiembre de 2014. Actualmente cuento con tres certificaciones docentes de Nueva Jersey: maestra de estudiantes con discapacidades, de preescolar a tercer grado y de primaria de kínder a sexto grado. Mi nivel de estudios más alto es una maestría de la Universidad de Monmouth. Mi lema favorito es aprender a jugar; jugar para aprender. Una vez que los niños aprenden a jugar, sus mentes se desarrollan de muchas maneras. Espero con ansias cantar, bailar, reír y explorar con sus hijos. Trabajaré estrechamente con el maestro de su hijo para brindar instrucción individualizada, enriquecer el ambiente del aula y brindar apoyo. No duden en contactarme en cualquier momento. Espero colaborar con todos ustedes.
