It's Allergy Season

Michigan’s spring allergy season typically runs from late March to June. The culprit is tree pollen, especially oak, birch and maple. The peak times are April through May.  Windy days increase pollen. Rainy days decrease pollen but may increase mold levels. Symptoms can include sneezing, congestion, postnasal drip, itchy/sore throat, red/watery eyes. 

Management tips:

• Check counts: Monitor daily pollen counts and stay indoors when pollen counts are high and when there are windy days. 
• Reduce Exposure: Keep windows closed, Shower after coming indoors and wash clothes promptly
• Treatment: Consult your doctor. Options may include over-the-counter antihistamines and/or allergy-rated air filters.

40 educators from HPS have been selected to participate in a year-long professional development experience through The Huntington National Bank’s Ignite the Classroom initiative, including a trip to the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta.

Connor Fowler is the latest HPS Teacher to receive a Teachers Live Here grant. He was awarded $27,300 in down payment assistance toward the purchase of a home in the area.

As we prepare for the start of the next school year, it's time to register your student for 2026-27. This is something we ask ALL current HPS families to do EVERY year. Completing the registration lets us know:

• Your student(s) will be returning next year!
• Your household contact information is up to date
• Your student health information is up to date
• if you are requesting transportation for the 2026-2027 school year (Deadline to request bussing is August 1.)

Without this information, your student can not be added to a class list for next year OR have a class schedule created for them.

• Estimated revenue is approximately $2,540,000
• Expanded language will allow funding for transportation and maintenance of vehicles
• Helps maintain and protect voter-approved bond investments
• Reduces strain on the general operating budget
