by Anthony Minervino on 05/16/2013 in Uncategorized with No comments

Dear Hazel families.

Today(THURSDAY MAY 16TH) is the big day!!! We meet with superintendent O’Neill and we all need a huge turnout in Hazel Elementary Gym before the 7:00pm meeting time. It is important that you are on time so that we can promptly begin the meeting! I would come earlier if you are bringing children. Babysitters are available.

I can’t tell you enough how proud the Hazel community should be for everyone who is putting their heart into this! Today we will have the opportunity to show what this community is all about! All of these accomplishments would not be possible without you…….the dedicated parents! It really is nice to see everyone working together!
HAZEL COMMUNITY ROCKS!

Queridas Familias de Hazel!

Hoy es el gran día donde nos estaremos reuniendo con el Superintendente James O’Neill, en el gimnasio de nuestra escuela a las 7 pm. Necesitamos de su presencia, por favor estemos puntuales ya que se necesita iniciar la reunión a tiempo!
Estaremos ofreciendo Cuidado para los niños y niñas !

Se les agradece de todo corazón a cada una de personas que han trabajado duramente de una u otra forma durante esta situación, es de gran orgullo para mí ser parte de una Comunidad como Hazel, donde la Unión y el Trabajo en equipo es increíblemente fuerte por el Bienestar de Nuestros Niños y Niñas!

Necesitamos de tu presencia Hoy durante la Reunión a las 7 pm. Te esperamos!

Gracias por tu Apoyo y Colaboración !

Cindy Galdamez.

Meeting with Superintendent O’Neill: Thursday May 16th at 7PM at Hazel School

by Anthony Minervino on 05/10/2013 in Uncategorized with No comments

Due to the Spring Concert at Roosevelt School, we have moved the meeting with the Superintendent to Thursday, May 16th at 7PM in the Hazel School Cafa-Gymna-Torium. There will be a representative from the district to answer questions in Spanish so our Latino population can voice their opinions and concerns.

Please come and present logical and well-thought out arguments backed by facts if possible. Our children deserve the best, and we need to be specific about the needs of our children and our community.

Translators will be available for the meeting and all documents presented.

Help keep Dr. Acevedo at Hazel Avenue School!

by Anthony Minervino on 05/08/2013 in Uncategorized with 1 Comment

As you may or may not know, Superintendent O’Neill, with a vote from the Board of Education, wants to move the Hazel Principal, Dr. Acevedo, to Edison Central 6 and transfer the Edison Principal, Mr. Fitzgerald, to Hazel Avenue School.

This has come as a huge shock to all of us in the fragile ecosystem which is the Hazel community, as we were not consulted and do not feel that the best interests of our children are being served. There will be a vote at the Board of Ed meeting on Monday May 20th at 8pm, currently scheduled for the Library Media Center at West Orange High School. We will be sending a bilingual letter to all parents, starting a bilingual petition, and requesting that Superintendent O’Neill come to Hazel to address our community about this issue. Be on the lookout before and after school for parents with petitions and letters.
