Dear HNP Families,


The staff and I are so excited to begin the new school year with you and your children! We have been at the school all week getting the class ready for your bright and enthusiastic children!


I have attached our preschool roster by days. Please peruse and advise me if there are any changes. The Red Fish A teachers will be Ms. Paula and Ms. Pam. The Red Fish B teachers will be Ms. Francesca, Ms. Marilu and Ms. Bernadette. Lastly, the Blue Fish teachers are Mr. Joe, Ms. Liz, Ms. Lucy and Ms. Janice.

Here again are some immediate reminders:
  • Please conduct a health screening-Health Check-of your child before arriving at school.
  • If your child displays any of the Covid symptoms listed at school, you will be called to take your child home-DPH Guidance.
