Dear HPA Families,
We hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday, and we wish you all a Happy New Year! As we all continue to face the challenges of COVID-19 in our community, we have decided to return on an alternate school schedule for some students beginning Tuesday, January 5, 2021. While we know this decision can be difficult for some families, we feel this is the best option for students and staff. We have outlined information for each grade level below. If you have any questions, contact your student's principal.
All elementary school students (K-5) will continue in-person classes Monday - Friday. Families and students should prepare to return to school on Tuesday, January 5. Please remember students should wear masks while entering the building. Elementary virtual students should have been in contact with Principal Lancaster about their intentions for the second semester. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Lancaster at
