Parent Technical Support Line |
CPS has created a Parent Technical Support Center to help families troubleshoot issues with CPS devices, connectivity, and software during remote learning. The move is in response to feedback received from families during our Parent Town Hall meetings.

- Reset passwords for Google, Schoology, and Powerschool;

Three Classrooms are still in search of a Room Parent, and a handful of additional classrooms are seeking a second Room Parent. The following classrooms do not have a Room Parent:
- Gallup's 4th Grade Classroom
- Bidlingmeyer's 5th Grade Classroom
- Ries' 6th Grade Classroom
Our HPS Room Parents provide a channel of communication between parents and teachers, which can be especially crucial in these times of remote learning. But even more, these parents are a part of the classroom environment in the following areas: Organizing class parties (hopefully!), acting as the room basket lead for Spring Celebration, aiding in teacher celebration, and assisting in any teacher special requests.

Volleyball: Unfortunately, after much effort and careful consideration of factors beyond control, volleyball is suspended this season. Apologies to everyone excited to get back on the court, but keep practicing because Spring will come, and we're planning for a great comeback!
Overall, it's going to be a unique season for all programs, and extra parent support is definitely needed. So don't be shy to volunteer! Let's be patient, understanding, positive, and remember that we're all in this for the kids. Go Eagles!!
