Dear HNOM Families and Friends,

Welcome to the 2019-2020 School year!  I hope you enjoyed the summer and made many wonderful memories with your families.  The virtue that we will be fostering this year is Faith. We will use the Bible verse “Be on your guard, stand firm in faith, be courageous, be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13) Please consider focusing on this virtue at home as well.  We are a team, working together to benefit all our students.
As we begin the 2019-2020 school year, we welcome a few new members to our school family:  Mr. John DiGangi, gym; Miss Michaela Austin, grade 5; Mrs. JudyAnn Hurst, Spanish and Mrs. Samantha Galecio-Augustin will be our new kindergarten assistant. Please join me in offering our new school family members a warm welcome! Miss McEnaney will now be teaching grade 3. Ms. Brown will be the homeroom teacher for grade 8 and continue to teach ELA, Mrs. DeRosa, grade 7 homeroom, will continue to teach math to grades 6 – 8 and will now teach religion to grade 7. Mr. Sach, grade 6 homeroom, will teach social studies to grades 6 - 8 and religion to grades 6 and 8. We wish Mr. Patti, Miss Conway and Mrs. Murphy much success as they move on to other ventures.
The faculty and staff have worked hard over the summer to prepare for the new school year.  We are all looking forward meeting with you and sharing our plans for 2019-2020. Please make sure you save the date for our Grades 1 – 8 Back to School Night, Thursday, September 12 at 6:00 pm. More detailed information about this night will go home the first week of school.  Please make sure you check the HNOM website regularly for up to the minute information on both the calendar and on your child’s class page.
We hope you will actively partner with us, whether you choose to work with our school’s parent league, join our school board, volunteer at the school, or take part in special events.  We are better together! Thank you for your investment in, and continued support of your child’s Catholic education.

If I can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me. My door is always open to you.
