HAMC CALENDAR UPDATES

  • HAMC will be CLOSED on May 24th, the Friday before Memorial Day break.  
  • The Annual Meeting has been rescheduled to Thursday, June 13th.  The meeting was originally scheduled for Thursday, June 6th. 
TABITHA'S LAW 
 

Tabitha's Law has recently passed the NJ Legislature.  This bill requires parents to notify school administrators whenever their child will be absent from school, and requires administrators to contact parents whenever a pupil is absent without the parent's having provided prior notice.  HAMC parents are required to notify the school of any absence via email, phone call, or written note. The safety of our students is always our top priority.

SCHOOL LUNCH  

 

Lunch ordering for June closes on Thursday, May 23rd.  When making payment, please remember to use all your lunch credits.  This is your last chance to use up your credits before they expire at the end of the school year.
Breakfast For Lunch is Back! This Friday, May 17th a meal of French Toast, fruit and a drink will be available for purchase at $5 per serving.
NO CHALLAH DELIVERY
