Hyde Park School will be hosting our annual Spring Celebration Friday, April 19, 2024 at MadTree Brewing! Mark your calendars and get a sitter. This event is our largest fundraiser and it provides an opportunity for HPS families, staff, and community supporters to celebrate our successful school.

Sponsorship Questions: Lauren Sample sponsorship@hydeparkschoolpto.org

The HPS PTO is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit. Sponsors will be provided with a donation acknowledgment for their records. Thank you in advance for your support! 
The yearbook elective is dedicating four pages to HPS sports teams in this year's yearbook. We are hoping to collect some images from parents/coaches who attend the games. If you have any amazing photos, please submit them, with the team name and grade levels to this link or send them to my email address fischka@cpsboe.k12.oh.us.
This Tuesday, February 27 order from Ramundo's Pizza, and a portion of your sales will come back to our PTO!
Cincinnati Police Programs
We are looking for a permanent Crosswalk attendant, but in the mean time we really need some parent help to keep everyone safe crossing the street! It will only take 20 minutes of your time in the morning or afternoon.
If you have a little extra time before or after school, please sign up for a spot here
Stop Sign and sweet neon vest will be provided :)
Our youngest students are in need of some assistance during lunchtime. Tasks like opening cheese sticks, yogurt lids, and even putting straws in drink boxes can be challenging to little hands. If you could spare 30 minutes of your time, please join our lunch period to help make the most of this important time! You will need to check in at the main office at 10:00am and will then be directed to the cafeteria.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:

Happy Hyde Park School is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment that values, embraces, and supports all members of the school community. Our LSDMC is in the process of forming a DEI (Diversity Equity & Inclusion) subcommittee for our school and would love to hear from you! Do you have feedback about your children's and your own experience at HPS, dreams, or ideas around this important work? Please connect with Lisa Nolan (lisa.m.a.nolan@gmail.com), a current 1st grade parent and founding chair of the committee, and/or Alyse Averdick (averdia@cpsboe.k12.oh.us), School Resource Coordinator, to share!
