Professional Bio:

Mr. Waibel grew up in Wayne, New Jersey and currently lives in Kinnelon, New Jersey. In 1997, he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Humanities from William Paterson University. For the next 10 years, he operated his own business selling tropical fish to the pet industry. In 2007, Mr. Waibel completed his post baccalaureate work at Montclair State University and received his certificate in Elementary Education with Advanced Standing.

Mr. Waibel began teaching Kindergarten in 2008. In 2009, he moved to fourth grade and now makes up part of a dynamic fourth grade team with Mrs. Force. During the summers, Mr. Waibel is the aquatics supervisor for Apple Montessori summer camps where he oversees their swim program. He is an American Red Cross Lifeguard Instructor, and teaches lifeguarding classes over the summer as well.

He has been married since 2003 and has two beautiful boys, Louis V and Matthew Thomas. He received an early holiday gift with the birth of his twin girls, Annabelle and Elizabeth, on December 23, 2010. His wife was also a teacher! She taught at Clifton High School and Montclair State University until assuming the director role at Apple Montessori Schools in Wayne, NJ in the summer of 2010. In July of 2018, Mrs. Waibel assumed the Curriculum Director position for the Prospect Park Public Schools.

He loves the outdoors, baseball, fishing, and of course doing just about anything with his children. Currently, playing sports, reading books, boating and performing science experiments with his children are at the top of his list. Mr. Waibel is very excited to be part of the F.N. Brown family and is looking forward to a year full of fun and learning!

Homework:

Homework is assigned daily. Students are responsible for recording homework in their assignment pads. The purpose of homework is to reinforce concepts and to demonstrate an understanding of skills learned in class. I encourage neatness in their notebooks, workbooks, and assignment pads. Homework is checked regularly. Its' completion and accuracy are factored into their final grade.

Homework Policy:

Students are responsible for any incomplete assignments. In the event of an absenece or incomplete work students are expected to complete the work for the following day. Students who repeatedly fail to hand in homework will complete their work during recess. Repeated incompletes or concerns will result in a note / phone call home to further discuss the matter.

F.N. Brown...The BEST school in town!!!
