Principal's Message

Dear FMS Community, 

I'm excited to join the Hastings-On-Hudson school community as your Interim Principal. I am eager to work alongside our dedicated teachers, staff, and families to create an outstanding learning environment for all students. 

I began my career as a math teacher in the NYC Public School system, where I discovered my passion for fostering student growth and understanding. This experience led me to serve as a Dean of Students, allowing me to work more closely with students on their social-development and well-being. For the past several years, I have served as an Assistant Principal. 

I firmly believe that relationships matter within a school community. Strong connections between students, staff, and families are essential for creating a positive and supportive learning environment. I am committed to ensuring that our students have a safe and supportive environment to learn and grow.  

I believe that by working together, we can provide our students with the best possible education and prepare them for a bright future. 

Sincerely,

Daniel Waldeck, Interim Principal
