Education Benefit Form: We are still looking for a lot of families to fill out the Education Benefits Form
Completing the Education Benefits Form is a key step to unlocking essential support for all HPS students. Federal & state resources are allocated based on the income data collected through this form. Without this data the district could lose out on critical funding.
Next week, teachers will be reaching out to families on a case-by-case basis to make sure we get everyone accounted for. It only takes about 5 minutes!

A reminder about attendance: Regular school attendance matters! Research has shown that students who miss more than 10% of school days are at a higher risk of lower grades in high school and college, and an increased chance of high school dropout. Parents/guardians, help your student succeed by helping them to establish a morning “get ready” routine, come up with a “plan B” for transportation if your student misses the bus, and if your student is sick, call school and provide a doctor’s note if possible so their absence can be excused.
Can't believe it is already the end of September! The year is off to a GREAT start!
