Hazelwood School News
Hwood Pride!!! #Allin4Hwood
Principal Message - May 13, 2016
As we cruise through May, I would like to thank students, faculty, staff, PTO, and parents in assisting in making Hazelwood School such a special place! May is such a busy month and at times we forget to take a break and catch our breath. Our time together is precious and this school journey is coming to a close. I am positive the best is yet to come!
Thank you to the Hazelwood PTO for an awesome week of treating our faculty and staff! Your generosity is greatly appreciated. We are so fortunate to have such a great team of teachers and staff!!!
Last Friday was our talent show, and I must say WOW!!! Our students, teachers, and parents have talent!!! The show was fantastic and it was awesome to see the smiles on our students faces as they performed. Events like the talent show are memories that students and parents will always have. I would be amiss if I did not give some shout-outs to our PTO and volunteers that helped make the night happen! Please click the link below for highlights:
2016 Hazelwood Talent Show
Please note the district will be hosting re-registration for all Middlesex students. It is imperative all students currently in grades Kindergarten through Eleventh re-register. If you do not re-register your child(ren) will not be on our school roster for the 2016-2017 school year and will not be able to attend our schools. Information was sent home with students on Thursday, May 12th about the procedure.
Re-Registration Parent Letter
Registration Verification Form
In the next couple of weeks a lot of information will be sent home with students, posted to the district/school web page, posted on this newsletter, and "tweeted". Please remember to join the action and receive alerts where applicable. The last few weeks of school are very busy and exciting, I certainly do not want someone to miss an activity or important information. I strongly suggest to check out the Important Information and Date section and check back frequently!!!
As always my door is always open. Please feel free to contact me with any problems or concerns. Thank you for your support and I look forward to a strong finish!
Hwood Pride!!!

School Mission Statement
At Hazelwood Elementary School we believe…….
All students can and will learn in a nurturing school environment where collaboration and exploration is encouraged and will foster a lifelong love of learning.
Positive relationships are vital for student success. Our school doors will always be open to assist our families to ensure our students are growing academically, emotionally, and socially.
Hazelwood students will become confident, compassionate, respectful, and committed to making a difference not only in the classrooms and hallways of our school, but in our wonderful community of Middlesex Borough.
