The HP Wrap Up - November 27, 2024 | Harrington Park School District

HP Community,

As we wrap up this short week, we wish all of our families a safe and peaceful Thanksgiving. As a reminder, school is closed on Thursday and Friday, November 28th & 29th.

Thank you to all our families who participated in The Project Pride Turkey Drive. We had tremendous participation! Check out the distribution pictures on social media!

Next week is our annual HSA Gift Shop. Students will have an opportunity to shop on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please make every effort to send in money with your child. The high volume of interruptions in the vestibule becomes a challenge.

Picture retakes are happening on December 5th. See flyer below.

Absentees? - Please use the pre-pay code provided in the email blast to place your order. THIS CODE IS ONLY FOR ABSENTEES. This allows you to take advantage of the same packages we provided during the original day. - CODE 4H7Z4Q8
Retaking an Image without an order? At this time, you are only able to view your original day image online. Once your image has been replaced with your retake, you may go online and place an order using your personal web passcode we provided to you on your Last Chance card.
Retaking an image and already placed an order? Students MUST bring in their original package and provide it to our photographer. We kindly ask parents to write any concerns on the FRONT of the envelope. Your order will be replaced using your new image.

As a reminder, Trimester 1 grades closed on 11/22. Report Cards will be available on December 2nd.

Please review the below Winter Concert Schedule.

The “ Class of 2025” is hosting a “Parents Night Out” on December 6th. Please see the attached flyer for details!

As the temperatures are dropping, please note that students will be outside for lineup and recess if the temperature is above 32 degrees. Please ensure students are dressed appropriately. Ms. Dell'Aquila places a sign on the door each morning indicating an indoor or outdoor lineup. Please note that we do take into consideration the wind chill factor. Indoor lineup does not begin until 8:25AM.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving HP!
