Dear HPS Community - An Update from Superintendent Nick Cassidy
This week Superintendent Nick Cassidy met with HPS staff members to share HPS' 5-year Facility Plan. This plan will:
- Ensure Every Student and Staff Member at HPS benefits from upgraded, 21st-century facilities
- Provide equitable access to programming
- Right-size our district to reduce operational costs
- Allow us to invest in our students, staff, and programs

The Next "Snow Day" Might Be a "Snow Delay"
For the remainder of the academic calendar, if it is safe to do so, Superintendent Nick Cassidy will consider calling a 2-hour delay rather than a full snow day! This will help ensure students are in school when it is safe for them to be and that we don't have to extend the school calendar beyond June 4.
