Principal's Message
Greetings Everyone, My name is Ron Renaldi, and I’m the new principal at Alburtis Elementary School. I’m absolutely thrilled to be here and very much look forward to meeting you and your children and working with this fine staff. This year will be my 18th as an elementary school principal. My career began, however, as a school teacher in New Jersey where I taught Language Arts to 4th, 5th & 6th grade students for 8 years. It was during this time that I completed my Masters of Education and was accepted into the Doctoral program at Penn State University, at University Park. I was then asked to join the New Jersey Department of Education as an Educational Program Specialist. In this role, my primary responsibility was to research current trends in the teaching of Reading & Writing and then to create and present instructional workshops for elementary teachers. After spending 3 years with the NJDE, I found that I was more of a “school guy” than I was a “Department guy”. So, I applied for 2 principalships: one in Bethlehem Area School District (where I live with my family) and the other in the Central Bucks School District, in Doylestown PA. I selected Central Bucks. After working there for 7 years, I was offered and accepted a principalship in the Palisades School District. This move allowed me to be closer to home. After 8 years in Palisades I was offered a position in the East Penn School District, at Jefferson Elementary School. That was 2 years ago. Since accepting this offer, I have loved every minute of my time here. The kids, parents, teachers and community have been very “welcoming”. I feel very lucky to be here. Can’t wait to meet your kids! Dr. Ronald P. Renaldi Principal Alburtis Elementary School
