HP Community,

As we wrap up this week, a reminder that Monday, March 24th is a minimum session day for all students Prek-8 with a 12:45pm dismissal. Staff will have Professional Development at NVD in the afternoon.

As shared by Mr. Conlon on Tuesday, the 25-26 School Calendar was approved and posted on the website.

On Monday, several string ensemble students were able to honor Ms. Woods at her funeral mass by playing some select pieces. Ms. Woods’s family expressed how very touched they were by the outreach from the HP community. As we look ahead as a school community, we are exploring ways to honor Ms. Woods.

Middle school spring sports held interest meetings last week. For more information related to the spring sports, students will need health forms completed and can connect with the following coaches:

Baseball - Mr. Lawlor

Softball - Ms. Rallo

Track & Field - Ms. Lewis & Ms. Bradbury
