North Haledon Schools, 2026–27 Calendar, BOE Meetings & District Office Help
North Haledon has a small local PK–8 school district, but families still have several different places to look depending on the task. The Board meeting schedule, school calendar, registration office, parent resources, board policies and school contacts are not all on the same page.
This independent guide brings those routes together for North Haledon families and residents. Use it to identify the right office first, then confirm changing dates, forms and notices on the official North Haledon School District website.
North Haledon Board of Education quick facts
The North Haledon School District is a regular local public school district in Passaic County. NCES lists it as serving PK through grade 8 with two schools. The elected Board has nine unpaid members serving three-year terms, while the Superintendent handles day-to-day district administration.
Entity check: North Haledon School District is not Haledon Public School District. The names are similar, but they are separate districts with different offices, schools and boards.
North Haledon is a PK–8 district, not the local high-school district
NCES lists North Haledon School District as a two-school PK–8 district. Memorial Elementary serves the younger grades, while High Mountain Middle School carries the district through grade 8.
For high-school governance, North Haledon is represented in the Passaic County Manchester Regional High School District. That regional board is separate from the North Haledon Board of Education, so high-school board meetings, policies and calendars should be checked on the Manchester Regional site rather than assumed to be part of nhschools.net.

The Board’s official schedule says meetings are open to the public under New Jersey’s Open Public Meetings Act and that formal action may be taken. Regular meetings are scheduled at Memorial School.

How to find a North Haledon BOE agenda, minutes or recording
The district separates the meeting schedule from its records. For 2018 to the present, its Agendas and Minutes page routes users into Board Connect. The district also keeps a separate Board Meeting Recordings page.
Start with the meeting schedule
Confirm the date, time and whether a change notice has been posted.
Open Board Agendas and Minutes
Use the Board Connect link for meeting records from 2018 to the present.
Use the agenda before the meeting
An agenda shows planned business. It should not be treated as proof that an item was finally approved.
Use minutes for the formal record
Approved minutes are the better source when you need to confirm what the Board officially recorded.
Check recordings when useful
The district posts many meeting recordings separately, including 2026 meetings.

North Haledon Board of Education members
The current district roster lists Dina O’Donnell as Board President and Lucy DeNova as Vice President. Because board roles and membership can change after elections or an organizational meeting, recheck the official Board Members page before formal correspondence.
| Board member | Current title | Official email |
|---|---|---|
| Dina O’Donnell | Board President | dodonnell@nhschools.net |
| Lucy DeNova | Board Vice President | ldenova@nhschools.net |
| Amy Guido | Board Member | aguido@nhschools.net |
| LauraLee Harding | Board Member | lharding@nhschools.net |
| Nicholas Nagy | Board Member | nnagy@nhschools.net |
| Jeremy Serfozo | Board Member | jserfozo@nhschools.net |
| Jared Blaso | Board Member | jblaso@nhschools.net |
| Jennifer Mendillo | Board Member | jmendillo@nhschools.net |
| Valdo Panzera | Board Member | vpanzera@nhschools.net |
What an individual board member can do: the district explains that individual members cannot make decisions or act for the Board unless the Board has authorized them. Board action comes from the Board acting as a body.
North Haledon school calendar: what families should check
The district’s live Calendar page identifies the 2026–2027 District Calendar and states that it was approved at the February 25, 2026 BOE meeting. The same calendar page also mixes school events, closings and BOE meetings, so check the event label before assuming an item affects the full school day.
Oct. 12, 2026
The district homepage lists school closed for Columbus Day / Teacher In-Service.
Oct. 14, 2026
The live calendar lists the BOE regular meeting from 6:00–8:00 p.m. in the Memorial cafeteria.
Delayed opening
The district calendar says both schools start at 10:30 a.m. on delayed-opening days.
Calendar rule: use the district calendar for school-day planning, then use the Board Meeting Schedule for BOE dates. Those are separate tasks even when both appear on the same live event calendar.
North Haledon school contacts
North Haledon School District operates two schools. For attendance, same-day dismissal, a classroom issue, nurse question or a school event, contact the school rather than starting with a Board member.
Memorial Elementary School
Address: 201 Squaw Brook Road, North Haledon, NJ 07508
Phone: 973-427-8993
Principal: Melissa Tait
The school’s 2026–27 supply lists cover preschool through grade 4, which helps families confirm that Memorial is the district’s elementary-school route.
High Mountain Middle School
Address: 515 High Mountain Road, North Haledon, NJ 07508
Phone: 973-427-1220
Principal: Nicholas Angrisani
The school publishes 2026–27 supply lists for grades 5 through 8.
North Haledon Board of Education office, administration and map
Call with the task, not just “Board of Education.” Say whether you need registration, the Superintendent, the business office, a school, an agenda or another department. That usually gets you routed faster.
How to register a student in North Haledon School District
The district registration page provides a New Student Checklist and New Student Registration route. Registration questions are directed to Deborah Huizing, District Registrar, rather than to individual Board members.
Open the official Registration page
Use the current district page so you are working from the active school-year instructions.
Review the New Student Checklist
Check the district’s current requirements before starting the registration process.
Use New Student Registration
Follow the district’s current registration link rather than a saved or third-party form.
Contact the registrar if something is unclear
Deborah Huizing is listed as District Registrar at 973-427-1220 and dhuizing@nhschools.net.
Grade-level check: North Haledon School District serves PK–8. If you are handling a high-school enrollment question, verify the appropriate Manchester Regional process instead of using the PK–8 registration route by default.
Parent Portal, lunch, health forms and school handbooks
The Parents section is the better starting point when the problem is not really a Board issue. It brings together before/after care, lunch resources, health forms, handbooks, discipline information, online parent forms and the Parent Portal.
Parent Portal
Use the district’s Parent Portal route for student account information. Keep login details private.
Lunch & PaySchools
The Parents page includes lunch menus, free/reduced lunch information, lunch-balance help and PaySchools instructions.
Health forms
Families can reach immunization requirements, physical forms, medication forms, asthma plans and allergy plans from the district’s health-resources section.
Board records are not the same as student records
The district policy library separates meeting governance, public records and student records. This matters when deciding whether your question belongs in a public-record request, a board meeting record or a private school/student-record process.
Board policies
The district publishes policies covering meetings, voting, executive sessions, public participation, finances, students, transportation and community matters.
Public records
The policy library includes Policy 8310 and its regulation for public records.
Student records
The same library separately lists student-record and FERPA policies. Do not treat confidential student files as ordinary public BOE records.
Privacy rule: do not publish or send private student health, discipline, disability, grade or family information to a public meeting record just because the issue involves the school district. Use the appropriate private school or district channel.
North Haledon school budget documents
The district’s Budget Information page currently lists both a 2026–2027 User Friendly Budget and a 2026–2027 North Haledon Budget Presentation, along with earlier years.
User Friendly Budget
Use this when you need a public-facing summary of district budget information for the 2026–27 school year.
Budget Presentation
Use the presentation when you want the district’s public budget slides rather than a general school finance explanation.
Fix the most common North Haledon school search mistakes
I found the wrong Haledon district
Check the address. North Haledon School District uses 201 Squaw Brook Road and nhschools.net. Haledon Public School District is a separate system.
I have an old BOE date
Check the live meeting schedule and its Change Notices. The district changed the June 2026 meeting date and several 2026 meeting times.
I need the school calendar, not a board meeting
Use the District Calendar page. The Board Meeting Schedule is a separate planning source.
I need a high-school answer
North Haledon School District ends at grade 8. Verify the Manchester Regional route for high-school governance and school information.
I need to register a child
Use the official Registration page and contact the District Registrar if the checklist or online process is unclear.
I need a private student record
Use the school or district’s private student-record route. Do not assume a public records request is appropriate for confidential education records.
