ALL HPS Magnet Clubs will end on Tuesday March 26,2024. We have thoroughly enjoyed being able to explore student interest through after school clubs, and we look forward to more options for the 24-25 SY. All students will need to resume back to normal transportation on Monday and Tuesdays, unless your student participated in after school boost tutoring. If you have any questions please reach out to your campus magnet coordinator.

Testing Tips: Arrive at school on time each day; prior to 7:50 a.m. Try to avoid appointments during the week of testing so that your child can complete his/her testing sessions. Try to make sure that your child is present each day of testing to avoid having to do make-up testing. Try to avoid screen time the week of testing prior to bedtime. Make bedtime early so that your child can get a good night's rest. Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep each night. If your child eats breakfast at school, have him/her there early to ensure getting to class on time. Encourage your child to do his/her best each day because testing is very important.
