The Haworth School District Handbook/ Calendar has been sent to all community members to give them information about the Haworth School. Additional material will be sent home from time to time in Board Newsletters or posted at Borough Hall and the Public Library as well as online on the website. We will endeavor to provide complete information concerning special events and changes in policies/regulations.
Your Board of Education, administration and all staff members are eager to provide a high standard of education for children from kindergarten through the eighth grade. You are invited to attend Board meetings, assembly programs, visit the school and consult with the Superintendent, Principal, guidance counselor and teachers concerning the school program. Please arrange your visits or conferences through the school office so as not to interrupt the regular work of the classroom.
