Dear Hyde Park Families, The first semester of the school year is almost over, and we are gearing up for the end of 2019. Our performing arts department will kick off the holiday season with many special concerts during December. Please mark your calendar and be sure to attend, as these are extraordinary opportunities to see our students shine and begin the holiday season!

Now that the weather has cooled down, please be sure students are dressed appropriately. Many students are dropped off and picked up, so they do not bother with warm clothes. However, because we have outdoor hallways, we want to make sure our students stay warm.

Students don’t always remember

to give their parents information

distributed in school. Please take

a minute on the weekends to

check their backpacks for anything

Also, please remember to utilize the Campus Portal regularly to check your child’s academic progress. Thank you for your continued support and for being an active partner in your student’s education.

Does the NURSE KNOW :

When there are major changes in your child's health? It could impact their school attendance or performance, so please let me know. I am a good resource to let teachers know how something might affect your child in school.

A special thank you to the Buffalo Soldiers for giving 20 of our kids holiday gifts, and to Valley Hospital for donating backpacks.
