Greetings Parents,
Picture day is right around the corner, Wednesday, September 4th, and we are looking for volunteers to help keep students in line, get them ready for pictures and get them where they need to be. Please help us make this a smooth and worry-free picture day. Those who volunteer will receive a discount package coupon. Please click on the link provided to sign up for a times slot, if you can stay longer, which is encouraged, sign up for multiple slots. Ideally, we need 3 volunteers per hour. Stop by the front desk to pick up your volunteer badge and they will direct you where to go from there. If possible come five mins early to make for a smooth volunteer transition. Thank you for helping support our students!

Hyde Park Middle School and the Academy of Science and Mathematics are very pleased to announce that we have been selected as one of 10 middle schools in the United States as a Pre-AP Partner by the College Board.
Hyde Park was selected to be one of the first to implement Pre-AP in middle school in Fall 2019. We were selected by the College Board because of Hyde Park’s outstanding commitment to academic rigor. We are committed to ensuring that our students are prepared for advanced placement and other college-level coursework.
Advanced Placement courses are college-level classes offered in high school. Rather than programs of instruction, these courses incorporate rigorous course content and teaching techniques typically used in college courses. Pre-Advanced Placement courses have traditionally provided introductory work to high school students in preparation for enrollment in AP courses.
Hyde Park’s selection means that we will be providing our students with high school work in middle school. We have been working towards this goal and are very pleased to announce full implementation for the 2019-2020 school year.

Hyde Park MS will be hosting a schedule pick-up day and Open House on Thursday, August 8th, from 4:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Students and parents will be able to pick up their class schedule, tour the building, learn about the various clubs and activities, and meet their teachers.

Parents,
This is a VERY important message about Hyde Park Middle School and your students. As a school, we do our best to meet the needs of ALL of our students. This includes; class sizes, teachers, technology, and nutrition. The amount of money we get for our Title 1 programs is tied directly to our Free and Reduced Lunch Applications. We are asking that ALL parents complete the online application, whether you feel your family may qualify or not and no matter whether you would use the meal services or not. These funds have been used for additional teachers and technology in all of our classrooms.

We have computers available for you at the school if you do not have access to the internet. The online application can be completed on a cell phone or tablet device.
