HPS Gifted and Talented Explore the 100 year anniversary of Armistice Day

“Our Middle School Gifted and Talented group put together this amazing website to illuminate the sacrifices that Haledon residents made during World War I. This project began as a way to explore the 100 year anniversary of Armistice Day. The students created maps, videos, and coded many aspects of this website in order to provide a full picture of WWI and the influence this event had in our area.”

HPS is excited to offer this free communication app to parents”

Dear Parents, Students, Staff and Community Members,

Welcome to the 2019 – 2020 school year. Here’s hoping that everyone enjoyed a relaxing summer break with family and friends. I am excited about the start of this school year! We have wonderful opportunities ahead to make a difference in the lives of children. Achieving student success continues to be our goal which will take a commitment to continuous learning on the part of talented motivated staff, informed parents and communities that are involved and values education. I am committed to making sure our students receive the best possible education at HPS.

We’ve had a busy summer, getting ready for students to return. We have painted classrooms, and we have replaced furniture and re-polished floors along with our routine summer projects to ensure a smooth start to the school year.

The Haledon Public School is a district that strives for excellence and realizes that we all need to work together to provide the best education possible. I encourage all parents to stay involved in your child’s education. When your child succeeds, we all succeed because of the contributions young minds can make to our society and the communities in which we live.

I thank you for your continued support of the school district. For more information concerning all HPS activities and programs, please check the district website at www.haledon.org or visit our social media page at and www.facebook.com/HaledonPublic

Principal's Welcome Message

Dear Haledon Public School Parents and Community Members,

We are very excited to begin our 2019-2020 school year at HPS! Our first day of school for students will be on Thursday, September 5th. I hope that this summer break has been great for all of our students, and I also hope that they are as excited to begin the school year as we are. In addition to all of the tremendous programs we offer to students there is one major initiative that we have planned for the upcoming school year that I would like to bring to your attention.

One of our high priority goals this year will be to enhance our use of data to better improve the quality of our instructional design and practice. As such, we will be looking to use benchmark assessments at all grade levels throughout the year so that we can monitor the progress of each student as he/she develops specific academic skills for each subject. These benchmark assessments will be given three times throughout the year, and they will not be used as a grading instrument. Instead, this assessment data will be used as a tool for us to determine how we can adjust our instructional practices so as to meet the needs of our students. We are confident that our students will benefit as we make this practice a high priority initiative for Haledon Public School this year.

I will be sending out communication within the next few weeks to detail exactly how we will implement the benchmark data programs, how you will be kept aware of your child’s benchmark skills progress, and how we will use this data to provide your child with a better overall educational experience at HPS within the next few weeks.

Again, I am very excited about this coming school year, the direction we are headed at HPS, and the great things our students will accomplish this year.

Go Wildcats!

Sincerely,

Christopher A. Wacha
