Greetings . . .
As the new school year arrives, I wanted to thank our faculty and staff for their continuing commitment to our students and community as the District navigates its way forward during these challenging times. Our priority remains providing a meaningful and exciting experience for all learners as they continue their journey through the Hazlet school district.
As President John F. Kennedy once noted, "The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.” To that end, we will remain prepared to pivot in the moment and adjust to any newly arriving circumstance in order to maximize the safety, success and educational accomplishment for all stakeholders.
Should you have questions or concerns, please contact the principal of your child's school and he or she will be able to address your inquiry directly or put you in touch with someone who can. On behalf of the Board of Education and Central Administration, we look forward to continuing our commitment to putting children first!
A safe and productive 2026-27 school year to all . . .
Sincerely,
Scott Ridley, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
