HP Community,
As we wrap up this week, the HSA hosted the annual Holiday Gift Shop. Students had an opportunity to shop on Tuesday and Wednesday for family and friends. Thank you to the awesome HSA volunteers!
HSA Lunch ordering for January AND February is now open at www.myfooddays.com. Ordering will close on December 18th. You must complete and pay for your order by 6 pm on December 18th, or your order will be cancelled – no exceptions! Please make sure you review orders and that there are no duplicates. We are not able to make any adjustments once orders are placed! All families must also have completed and paid for their 2024-2025 HSA membership to participate in the lunch program. Please note that Panera will be offered on Mondays and Fridays instead of Thursdays!
Please review the attached Winter Concert Schedule. We are looking forward to the upcoming performances.
From the Health Office: Parents/guardians, just a reminder to please keep your child home until they are fever, vomit and/or diarrhea free for 24 hours without medication. Email the nurses at hpnurses@hpsd.org if your child has been diagnosed with any communicable illness (strep, flu, etc.). Thank you for your cooperation.
In Sports news, the boys basketball team got off to a tough start to the season this week in their first two games. The Spartans lost to Northvale on Tuesday and Demarest on Thursday. Each of the games were close at the beginning but fell short in the end against good teams. The Spartans were led in scoring in both outings by Sean Blanchard and Andrea Robinson. The team will play again next Monday against Haworth at home after school. Please come out and support the Spartans!
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 weekend HP!
