HAS Weekly Update

Dear HAS Community,
Our first two days of school were a great success. It was wonderful to see all the smiling faces in the hallways and hear students in the building again.
As a reminder, please call 908-709-6229 or 908-709-6983 (voicemail 24/7) or email the attendance office (HAS-attendance@cranfordschools.org), if your child is going to be absent or has to be picked up early due to an appointment or other reasons.
Sincerely,
Kevin Deacon
Principal
