At its Board of Education meeting on April 15, 2026, the Somerset Hills School District approved Mrs. Arielle Rementilla as Assistant Principal of Bedwell Elementary School for the 2026-2027 school year. 

Rementilla began her career in 2015 as an elementary Special Education Teacher in the Bronx, New York. Subsequently, she taught in Edgewater, Fair Lawn, and Millburn, New Jersey. Over 10 years in the classroom, she worked with students in Kindergarten through 6th grade, focusing on research-based reading instruction and intervention. Her certifications include Elementary (K-6), Students with Disabilities, Orton Gillingham, Reading Specialist, Supervisor, and Principal.

Most recently, Rementilla has thrived in her role as Elementary Assistant Principal in a PreK-4 elementary school, where she has gained extensive experience with NJTSS and I&RS alignment. She has a deep understanding of research-based practices for improving student outcomes. She is passionate about equity, literacy, and supporting all learners while maintaining high expectations, and she believes in restorative practices when supporting students’ social-emotional needs.

Rementilla will join the Somerset Hills School District on July 1, 2026. She is looking forward to cultivating strong relationships with students and staff, and learning all that makes Bedwell the wonderful school that it is. She is eager to work with Principal Scott Wolfe and to learn alongside other administrators across the district. “I am truly excited to join the Bedwell community and to collaborate with staff, families, and students to build upon the strong foundation that makes this school such a special place,” shared Rementilla. “I value the rich history of the Bedwell community and look forward to honoring its traditions while supporting the evolving needs of its changing landscape.”

From St. John’s University, Rementilla earned a Bachelor of Science in Childhood Education and Special Education (1-6), with a Concentration in Psychology, in 2013, and a Master of Science in Literacy (B-6) and Teaching English to Students of Other Languages (K-12) in 2015. In 2025, she earned a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from Montclair State University.

“Ms. Rementilla was recommended to me by multiple search committees as someone who not only exceeded our search criteria, but could also foster important collaborative connections between all of the major stakeholders at Bedwell and the region’s communities. Here in Somerset Hills, we believe that we’ve found an administrator in Mrs. Rementilla who meets that challenge in supporting our All Meets All approach to ensuring that every single student in our charge is supported throughout their educational journey.”

Rementilla will replace Mr. Marcos Vargas, who served as Interim Assistant Principal at Bedwell Elementary School beginning in January 2026.
