Personal Information

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year.  My name is Mr. Jesse Gennarelli and I am the in-class support teacher for the 6th grade here at Slocum Skewes.  I have been a special education teacher in Ridgefield for over 23 years.  

 

In 1997, I received my Bachelor's degree in psychology from Binghamton University.  Shortly afterward, I became certified as a special educator and earned my Master's degree from William Paterson University.  In 2018, I completed my coursework for my supervisor certification.  

 

It is my personal belief that every student has the ability to learn, grow, and become self-actualized in a nurturing, secure educational environment.  Conversely, each student can also teach us and help to foster growth and self-actualization in ourselves as educators.  

 

In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching sports, riding the peloton, and coin-collecting.  My favorite pastime is being with my family.
