For the 2025–2026 school year, the district will pursue focused goals that advance student achievement, foster equitable learning environments, and prepare all learners for future success. These goals reflect our commitment to academic excellence, inclusion, and innovation across all grade levels. The Hasbrouck Heights School District Professional Development Plan (PDP) outlines the goals and how they will be accomplished.

1. Elevate K–12 mathematics achievement by advancing into year 2 of implementing the SAVVAS enVision program (K–8, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II) as the primary instructional resource aligned with the NJSLS-M.

2. Strengthen K–12 English Language Arts instruction by grounding teaching practices in the Science of Reading, implementing the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education (IMSE) OG+ Phonics Program and Heggerty Phonological Awareness Program, and using explicit instruction to build foundational literacy skills. Systematically monitor progress in key literacy areas through multiple measures of assessment while fostering advanced comprehension, critical thinking, and effective communication at every grade level to prepare all students for the demands of college, career, and civic life.

3. Strengthen services and instructional programs for students with disabilities by successfully completing the New Jersey Department of Education Tier II Special Education Monitoring process and conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the current Preschool Disabled (PSD) program, with the aim of ensuring compliance, enhancing program quality, and improving student outcomes.

4. Continue leveraging instructional technology and AI tools to deepen content mastery and drive student growth by embedding digital resources into daily instruction.
