Ho-Ho-Kus School District

What Ho-Ho-Kus School District does

Ho-Ho-Kus School District is a public K-8 school district established in 1936 and operated under New Jersey state law, serving approximately 400 students enrolled from Pre-K through 8th grade at a single campus located at 70 Lloyd Road in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey. The district operates as a government entity funded primarily by local property taxes, supplemented by state and federal education aid, with no tuition charged to district residents. It delivers core academic instruction, special services, athletics, and extracurricular programs, supported by roughly 90 staff members including teachers, administrators, aides, and support personnel.

The district's operational technology stack is composed of third-party education platforms rather than proprietary systems. Core instructional infrastructure includes Google Workspace for Education and a 1:1 Chromebook Learning Initiative. Student information, parent communication, and staff workflows run on the Genesis student/parent/staff portal. Hallway movement is managed through SmartPass, library services through Follett Destiny Discover, assessment and data analysis through LinkIt and the NJSLA-Adaptive practice platform, food service payments through My School Bucks, substitute scheduling through AESOP, teacher evaluation through T-Eval, and employment applications through Applitrack. The district also maintains accessibility compliance with WCAG 2.0 Level AA, Section 504, and Section 508 standards.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer in the strictest sense: families register students through the district website or in-person registration processes, with no alternative in-district public provider. Communication channels include the district website, the "Bear Broadcast" video gallery, the "HHK Paw Print" newsletter, and Twitter and Facebook profiles. Ancillary revenue is limited to nominal fees for community use of facilities such as tennis courts ($25 per household per season). The district is governed by a Board of Education, with executive leadership comprising Superintendent Dr. Linda Bovino-Romeo and Principal Dr. Martha Walsh, alongside two interim appointments in curriculum and business administration.
