Welcome to Fort Dix Elementary School!

It is an honor and a privilege to serve as the principal of Fort Dix Elementary School. I am excited to join this exceptional school community and look forward to partnering with our students, families, staff, and community members to ensure every child thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.

My journey with Pemberton Township Schools began in 2006 as a school social worker, where I had the opportunity to support students and families across the district. In 2022, I became the Supervisor of Early Childhood, helping to lead our preschool program and working alongside dedicated educators to provide young learners with a strong foundation for success. In July 2026, I was honored to become the principal of Fort Dix Elementary School. These experiences have strengthened my belief that every child deserves to feel safe, supported, challenged and inspired each day.

At Fort Dix Elementary, we are proud to serve military-connected families from preschool through fifth grade. We understand the unique strengths and challenges that come with military life, and we are committed to creating a school where every child feels welcomed, supported and valued from the moment they walk through our doors.

As a National School of Character, we believe that strong character is the foundation for lifelong success. Together, we strive to foster a culture built on our core values of respect, responsibility, integrity, perseverance and service. Our goal is to create a safe, engaging, and inclusive learning environment where students are encouraged to grow as learners, leaders and compassionate citizens.

I firmly believe that the strongest schools are built through meaningful partnerships between home and school. Open communication, collaboration and mutual trust allow us to provide the very best educational experience for our children. I encourage you to stay connected, get involved, and reach out whenever you have questions, ideas, or celebrations to share.

Whether you are a returning family or joining our school community for the first time, I am delighted to welcome you to Fort Dix Elementary. I look forward to getting to know each of you and to an incredible school year filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences.

Warmly,

Jamillah Parker, Principal
