Dear Comets Staff and Members of the Hackensack School Community,

This time of year is truly one of joy, hope, giving, and love. As we enter the holiday season and enjoy a well-deserved break, my heartfelt wish is that each of you finds moments of happiness, rest, and renewal. May this time be filled with laughter, meaningful connections, and special memories shared with family and friends.

We also recognize that the holidays can be a time of reflection, especially for those who are remembering loved ones who are no longer able to be with us. During these moments, I hope you are surrounded by peace, comfort, and the support of those who care for you.

As we look ahead to the New Year, may 2026 bring a renewed spirit, fresh beginnings, and continued hope for our school community. Thank you for all that you do each day to support our students and one another.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.

Blessings,
Andrea Oates-Parchment
Acting Superintendent
