Ice Cream Social
Thank you to everyone who attended the Ice Cream Social on Thursday. We hope that you got to see the updated gym walls that the HPS Athletic Boosters have worked so hard on this summer AND the installation of Harmony Park. A special thanks to United Dairy Farmers for donating the ice cream that we know everyone enjoyed!

Student Drop Off & Dismissal
IMPORTANT
: Please review and help create a safe and efficient start/end of each day!
- All car riders should be dropped off at the Edwards Rd. entrance car line loop from 7:30-7:45am. Students enter the school through the cafeteria door. During car line dismissal, families should not arrive before 2:00pm. Arriving too early creates a car line that backs up traffic on the street. Please use a heavy marker on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper to post your child's first and last name on the front window of your car. This will help our staff identify your car/child in the line.
- Bus riders and walkers should enter the doors on Observatory Avenue between 7:30-7:45am.
- Parents who are picking up students in the "walkers" area should wait for the teacher to dismiss the student. Please do not remove students from the line during dismissal. Please wait on the artificial grass by the sports court, or on the blacktop outside the fence north of the sports court if you are also walking your dog. It is important to keep the sidewalks clear. The teacher will release the student to the adult picking up. Our student enrollment is large and we want to ensure all students are safe.

These parents are a part of the classroom environment in the following areas: Organize class parties, act as the room basket lead for Spring Celebration, aid in teacher celebration, and assist in any teacher special requests. You are the front line for parents and we all thank you in advance for stepping up to do this!

Hyde Park Athletics Website
Don’t forget to check out our new website and registration platform,
www.hydeparkschoolathletics.org
. Parents and coaches can find a ton of valuable information, including program summaries, documents and files, Booster information, important calendar updates, etc. When sport teams are created for any season, the site will automatically create a page that the coach can manage and use to communicate to their parents. If your coach chooses to use it, the Sports Engine mobile app can help keep you organized throughout your entire season.
Booster Membership
Booster Membership for the 2019/2020 school year is now open! Please register on the website at

Along with our fundraisers and corporate donations, membership provides the financial ability to support our existing programs, add new programs, keep registration costs low, and purchase new equipment and uniforms.
Project X Revealed
Our top secret project was revealed at the ice cream social on Thursday evening as families entered what appeared to be a brand new gym! Ok, maybe it wasn’t that dramatic, but we are proud to be able to put a face lift on our facility and show off our school pride. We hope you enjoy the new look, but more is coming! New HPS pole pads will be delivered in a few weeks and trust me, they scream Eagle pride! And eventually we plan to replace all three basketball hoops. Go Eagles.
