Welcome to the 22-23 school year!

My name is Mrs. Patel, and I look forward to working with the students, teachers, and parents of Frank J. Dugan Elementary School. This is my 15th year in Marlboro. Prior to teaching at Dugan, I also taught at Frank Defino Elementary School and in Maryland. 

Before moving to New Jersey, I lived in Maryland.  I went to the University of Maryland College Park and Johns Hopkins University.  My family still resides in Maryland, and I visit them as often as I can.  When I'm not in school, I love spending time with my two girls, Alina and Liya.   

As Dugan's Literacy Coach, I look forward to working with the entire Dugan community!  If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].
