Hasbrouck Heights Schools: BOE Meetings, Calendar & Family Routes
The Hasbrouck Heights Board of Education has separate places for meeting notices, agendas, minutes, school-calendar dates, registration and day-to-day parent services. That matters because a saved meeting schedule or old registration form can quickly become less useful than the district’s current page.
This guide brings those local routes together for Hasbrouck Heights families, residents and staff, while keeping Board business separate from student-specific school matters.
Hasbrouck Heights Board of Education at a glance
The Hasbrouck Heights School District office is at 379 Boulevard, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ 07604. The district’s main number is 201-288-6150, and its public website uses separate sections for Board records, calendars, schools, Genesis Parent Portal, employment and business-office services.
Nicole C. Russo is currently listed as Superintendent of Schools. Jenine Murray serves as Business Administrator/Board Secretary, which makes the Business Office an important route for Board administration, budgeting, transportation and public-record questions.
379 Boulevard, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ 07604.
A special Board meeting is posted for October 5, 2026. Check the live notice for the final time and location.
October 29, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. under the published annual schedule, unless superseded by a later notice.
The district uses Genesis Parent Portal for family access.
Same borough, different offices: the Borough of Hasbrouck Heights and the Hasbrouck Heights Board of Education are separate public bodies. Municipal taxes, borough permits and Borough Council matters do not belong on the school district’s Board pages.
Hasbrouck Heights Board of Education meeting dates and times
The Board’s 2026 reorganization agenda establishes a detailed meeting structure rather than one simple monthly time. HIB hearings are scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at the Board office when applicable, work meetings normally begin at 6:00 p.m. at 379 Boulevard, and regular action sessions are normally held at 7:30 p.m. at the Middle/High School, 365 Boulevard.
That annual schedule is only the starting point. During 2026, Hasbrouck Heights issued additional notices for special meetings and location changes. The district has posted a special meeting for October 5, 2026, which comes before the next regular session on October 29.

| Dec. 17, 2026 | 7:30 p.m. | MS/HS, 365 Boulevard | Final regular session listed for 2026. |
Meeting location can change. The August 20 session is a useful example: the district moved it from the High School Auditorium to the High School Cafeteria shortly before the meeting. Check News, Events and the current agenda before traveling.
Start with the current district News and Agendas/Minutes pages rather than relying only on the annual schedule.
How to find a Hasbrouck Heights BOE agenda or minutes
The district keeps separate agenda archives by school year, including a current 2026–2027 Agendas section. This is more reliable than opening a random PDF from a search result because the archive keeps current and prior school years separated.
Open Agendas/Minutes
Start from the district’s Board archive so you know which school-year collection you are viewing.
Choose 2026–2027 for current materials
Use an older archive only when you are researching an earlier Board meeting.
Match the exact meeting date
Pay attention to regular, work, committee and special meetings. A special-meeting agenda may not match the regular-session schedule.
Separate agenda from final action
An agenda shows proposed business. Use the posted minutes or later Board record when you need to confirm what was actually acted on.
What the agenda shows about public comment
A 2026 regular-meeting agenda includes an early public-comment period for agenda items and another general public-comment period later in the meeting. Residents are asked to state their name, address and subject matter.
The Board’s agenda also cautions speakers about comments concerning students and district employees. It says those individuals have legal rights and that comments identifying them are discouraged and will not be answered by the Board.
Agenda-item comments
Check the current agenda to see where comments on scheduled Board business appear in that meeting’s order.
General comments
The reviewed regular agenda also contains a later public-comment section before Board-member comments and adjournment.
Do not use public comment for a child’s private matter. Grades, health information, disability records, discipline issues, custody facts and other student-specific information should be handled through an appropriate private school or district channel.
Hasbrouck Heights Board of Education members
The district currently lists nine Board members. Officer roles should always be checked on the live members page because leadership can change following a Board reorganization.
The official members page lists individual district Board email addresses beside the current roster.
Hasbrouck Heights school calendar dates vs. BOE meeting dates
The school calendar and the Board calendar solve different problems. Use the district calendar for days when students are in or out of school. Use the annual Board schedule and public notices when you are deciding whether to attend a Board meeting.
The district published its 2026–27 calendar in February and later announced that an updated school district calendar was available on July 27, 2026. Families should therefore use the live calendar page rather than an earlier saved copy.
| 2026–27 date | School-calendar item | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Sept. 1, 2026 | First Day of School | Start of the student school year on the published calendar. |
| Sept. 7 | Labor Day | District closed. |
| Sept. 21 | Yom Kippur | District closed. |
| Oct. 12 | Columbus Day | District closed on the published calendar. |
| Nov. 3 | Staff In-Service | Not a normal student instructional day. |
| Nov. 5–6 | NJEA Convention | District closed. |
| Nov. 26–27 | Thanksgiving Recess | District closed. |
| Dec. 24–31 | Holiday Recess | Winter holiday closure period. |
| Feb. 15–19, 2027 | Winter Recess | District closed for the published recess. |
| Mar. 26 | Good Friday | District closed. |
| Apr. 19–23 | Spring Recess | Published Spring Recess period. |
| May 31 | Memorial Day | District closed. |
| June 16 | Middle School Graduation | District calendar milestone. |
| June 18 | High School Graduation | District calendar milestone. |
Snow-day planning: the district calendar contains make-up-day provisions. Do not assume an unused snow day will remain a school day or a scheduled recess can never change; use the revised live calendar as the school year progresses.
Hasbrouck Heights registration: kindergarten and new students
Kindergarten has a detailed 2026–27 process. The district opened kindergarten registration on January 28, 2026 and completes registration by appointment with the home-school building secretary.
For other new students, use the district’s current registration forms and call the appropriate school before bringing documents. Older registration packets can remain searchable, so confirm that the forms match the current school year.
Kindergarten eligibility
A child must be 5 years old on or before October 1, 2026 for the 2026–27 kindergarten year.
Full-day schedule
The district’s kindergarten notice lists the program from 8:20 a.m. to 3:03 p.m.
Identify the elementary registration route
The district’s kindergarten notice directs residents at Kipp Avenue and north to Lincoln School and residents at Jefferson Avenue and south to Euclid School for registration appointments.
Prepare the district forms
Kindergarten documents include the District Registration Form, Student Information Form, Home Language Survey, medical examination, immunization information, dental report, medical-history form and information-sharing authorization.
Bring primary residency evidence
The district accepts one qualifying document such as a property-tax bill, deed, contract of sale, mortgage, lease or signed notarized landlord letter.
Add four original proofs of residency
The kindergarten notice asks for four additional original mailed proofs. Examples include voter registration, licenses, permits, financial-account information, utility bills or other evidence connecting the family to the address.
Attend the registration appointment
Registration is completed with the school secretary. The district cautions that online paperless bills or statements are not accepted for the four additional proofs listed in the kindergarten notice.
Lincoln Elementary registration
Phone: 201-393-8182
The kindergarten notice uses Lincoln for the Kipp Avenue-and-north registration route.
Euclid Elementary registration
Phone: 201-393-8176
The kindergarten notice uses Euclid for the Jefferson Avenue-and-south registration route.
Placement is not determined only by the initial registration location. The district’s kindergarten notice says final Euclid/Lincoln placement is based on multiple criteria and was to be finalized in August 2026.
TB testing exception: the 2026–27 kindergarten notice states that students entering the school system for the first time who were born in a high-TB-incidence country need evidence of Mantoux tuberculin skin testing from within the previous six months.
Hasbrouck Heights schools and phone numbers
Hasbrouck Heights has two elementary schools plus separate middle- and high-school programs operating at the 365 Boulevard campus. Student-specific questions usually move faster through the child’s school office than through a Board member.
Fast routing rule: attendance, classroom communication, pickup, school events and most daily student issues belong with the school. Board agendas, governance, policy and public records belong at district level.
Transportation, finance and Board Secretary route
The Hasbrouck Heights Business Office manages more than school finances. The district says its responsibilities include accounting, purchasing, payroll, benefits, budgeting, insurance, transportation, facilities, food service, buildings and grounds, and custody of public records.
Transportation question?
Transportation is listed among Business Office responsibilities. Start with the district office if you are unsure which staff member handles the student’s transportation issue.
Hasbrouck Heights OPRA requests and student-record privacy
The district Business Office is the custodian route for public records and links an official OPRA Request Form. Use that process for qualifying public district records rather than sending an informal request to an individual Board member.
Public Board records
Board agendas, approved minutes, contracts, budgets and other qualifying district records may belong in the public-record process.
Student records
Transcripts, discipline files, health records, IEP-related information and other protected student documents should use the appropriate private school or district route instead.
Special Services and Child Study Team questions
The Department of Special Services is based at 365 Boulevard. Dr. Matthew Helfant is currently listed as Director of Special Services and District Anti-Bullying Coordinator.
Private route: special-education and student-support questions can involve protected information. Contact the department directly rather than describing an individual student’s circumstances in a public Board comment.
Genesis Parent Portal, calendars and everyday school resources
The district homepage gives families direct access to Genesis Parent Portal, district calendar, food services, ClassLink and other everyday school resources. These tools are generally more useful than Board meeting pages for routine student needs.
Genesis Parent Portal
Use the district-linked Genesis portal for the student-information functions available to your family account.
Events calendar
The district Events page provides a live calendar view in addition to the annual school-year calendar.
Food services
Meal and cafeteria questions have their own district route and do not need to go through Board members.
Hasbrouck Heights school jobs and applications
Hasbrouck Heights uses Frontline Applicant Tracking for school-district vacancies. Job postings have their own closing dates, qualifications and locations, so an old search result should not be treated as an active vacancy.
External applicants
Frontline provides the district’s application workflow for outside applicants and current job postings.
Substitute work
The district’s current Frontline page includes substitute-teacher recruitment for the 2026–27 school year, subject to current posting status.

Use the live district notice for time-sensitive information
BoardofEducations.org is an independent information guide. It is not the Hasbrouck Heights Board of Education, Hasbrouck Heights School District or Borough of Hasbrouck Heights.
The district demonstrated during 2026 that Board locations and schedules can change through public notice. The school calendar can also be revised. For a meeting-day trip, registration appointment or closure decision, open the current official district page before relying on a saved calendar or third-party summary.
