Hello. I am Maricruz Dones, the Secretary at HSVD. It is my voice that you hear when you call the school. I am here to help you and I speak Spanish. Part of my job is making attendance reports every day. Attendance and punctuality are the most important habits our children must learn. I expect you to report absences BEFORE they happen. Leave a message on our 24-hr. voicemail. 718-542-3700 ext. 5120.
