Dear Parents and Students, 

Welcome to Vina Danks Middle School: Home of the Mighty Bobcats! 

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE:

Welcome to Vina Danks Middle School!  My name is Dinae Geer, and it is a pleasure to serve as your principal. I look forward to serving a wonderful group of parents, students, and staff. I am confident that it will be a successful and positive experience. 

Our goal at Vina Danks Middle School is to get your child high school ready, college ready, and career ready. In order to accomplish this goal, we believe all students deserve a high-quality education and opportunities.  Excellence is at our core and relationships and community drive everything we do.  We value diversity, and we insist on equity and inclusion. All students have access to learning though character development, technology, a rigorous curriculum, and elective opportunities. The expectation is that our students engage in a rigorous learning program that ensures students think critically and creatively, problem-solve collaboratively, and communicate effectively. In addition, students have access to a wide variety of electives and after-school opportunities that equip students with real-world skills and experiences, such as AVID, music, band, art, journalism, home economics, sports, NJROTC, and computers. We offer an enriching academic program that challenges students to apply new learning, analyze and evaluate information, and construct new meaning. Finally, as a PBIS and Schools to Watch school, we have developed and implemented proactive behavioral supports and a positive social culture so that all students achieve social, emotional, and academic success.

Vina Danks Middle School is a wonderful place to learn.  We come together each day as a team of learners to nurture and instill a sense of pride and respect for self and community. When students take advantage of all the opportunities at school, actively engage in their learning, apply their skills and knowledge, and make positive choices along the way, success in any endeavor will result, whether at Vina Danks or in the future.

Sincerely,

Ms. Dinae Geer, Principal
