HPS GOAL: Engage and Inform parents and community members through consistent two-way communication.

HPS continues to work on engaging parents and the community through effective communication.   This has included using Remind, My Ride K-12, and Parent Portal.

The next level of work will be to 

• Gather feedback from parents so we have an understanding of what they need and want
• Streamline the enrollment and registration process
• Create standards for communication so that parents are not overwhelmed with the number of messages received

We'll also host focus groups of parents on:

• Thursday, January 9

If you are interested in participating in the Communication Focus groups, please drop us an email.
