HPS Soccer Camp with Jack Hermans is back! Registration is now open and will close on May 31. Camp will take place August 7-11, and is available for both half day (9 AM-12 PM) and full day (9 AM-3 PM) at Fairfax Recreation Fields. The half day camp is $109 and the full day camp is $149. All grades are welcome, as children will be divided up by age.

Register using this link: https://hydeparkschoolathletics.sportngin.com/register/form/409842025 (Note: registration is not available through the OSA website because the Hyde Park School camp is private). More information regarding what to bring will be provided during the summer months as we approach the camp dates.

Due to the steady progress of our school expansion, the cafeteria will be closed beginning on May 1 so that the construction team can access the area. As a result, students will eat breakfast in their classrooms and lunch outside at picnic tables (weather permitting) or otherwise, in their classrooms. Additionally, the Breakfast and Lunch menus have been simplified. Click here for the May Breakfast & Lunch Menus.

Lunch time involves a learning curve, and 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 an hour of your time, please join our lunch and recess period to help make the most of this important hour of their day! Click here to sign up. This signup link will be included in this Newsletter each week for you to access.

*IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION*: To allow for more eating time, Kindergarteners now will be having recess BEFORE lunch. This means if you are the Lunch/Recess Duty Volunteer, you should check-in at the Main Office, then report to the Playground instead of the Cafeteria. Then, following recess, you will help escort the Kindergarteners to the Cafeteria where you will assist them as they eat lunch. Please act as the Caboose for the line, ensuring that the very last students and any stragglers make it safely into the Cafeteria.

*Please note (and, yes, it goes without saying, but) by signing up for this opportunity, you will be signing up to assist ALL Kindergarteners with their lunch and to help monitor ALL students on the playground during recess, not just your child.*
