A Letter from Superintendent Nick Cassidy - November 2024
There is much to celebrate in this season of Thanksgiving and much to bring hope as we begin to look towards a new year.
Listen to HPSPodcast 5.16 with Superintendent Nick Cassidy
As we head into Thanksgiving break, I want to express thanks and gratitude for our talented educators who inspire and nurture the potential in every child, for our committed staff who keep our schools running smoothly, and for our students who remind us every day why we do what we do. I am equally grateful for our families and community members, whose trust and investment in our schools enable us to provide opportunities that shape the future.
Notes from the School Nurse
It’s that time of year where influenza prevalence is starting to rise.
