Safety reminders for families

Important message from Principal Michael Paolino

The following message is from William S. Hackett Middle School Principal Michael Paolino.

Dear Parents and Guardians:  

The safety of all our students is a top priority at Hackett Middle School, and we want to reinforce the following safety guidelines when you drop off and pick up your child at school.

  • Please drive all the way down Leonard Place, take a right at the second entrance into the school parking lot and proceed towards the back of the building near the cafeteria entrance.
  • Once drop-off and pickup are complete, please continue to drive behind the school and leave through the Myrtle Avenue exit off the parking lot.
  • Please refrain from dropping off and picking up your child at the corner of Leonard Place and Delaware Avenue. Stopping creates traffic congestion and unsafe conditions for anyone walking in the area.  

We appreciate your assistance in following these protocols to keep students safe when they arrive at school in the morning and leave in the afternoon. If you have any questions, please call school at (518) 455-6475.
