News and Announcements

Parents,

This is a reminder that as our second semester is beginning we want to maximize instructional time and reduce the number of classroom interruptions. With that in mind, please ensure that your student has all items needed for the school day as deliveries to the classroom will not be allowed.

We will be starting our "First Friday" activity schedule this week. The "First Friday" program gives students an opportunity to take a period long course once a month that provides enrichment to their regular curriculum. Students will attend all classes with an activity period at the end of the day.

On 11-18-14 approximately 550 students from HPMS participated in a national math competition called the AMC8. There were over 2000 middle schools and 130,000 students who competed worldwide in this competition. Hyde Park was one of only 9 middle schools in the United States to earn a perfect school score! This has never been accomplished in HPMS history. Hyde Park also had 3 students earn a perfect individual score which has also never been done before.

Congratulations to all of the Panthers that performed so well.

The staff and administration would like to thank everyone that took part in PSTAPT conferences on Wednesday, December 10th. To assist us as we plan for conferences next year we would like you to complete a short survey.

Please click on this article to access the survey link.


Thank you.

Congratulations to Sophia Adams and Eshaan Vakil for advancing to the state finals for the spelling bee. We wish both of these Panthers Good Luck in the state competition.

HPMS Hosts Holiday Food and Toy Drive
From December 4 through December 18, Hyde Park will be participating in a Holiday Food and Toy Drive. Students are encouraged to bring NEW Unwrapped toys and nonperishable food items to their 3rd period classrooms. The class that donates the most items of food AND the class that donates the most toys will receive a doughnut party in January. Donated toys will benefit The Burn Foundation and food will go to Three Square. Thank you for your support.

Hyde Park will be establishing an official Watch D.O.G.S. chapter here at the school. The goal of Watch D.O.G.S. is to provide for positive male role models in the lives of our students.

Please take a look at the Watch D.O.G.S. webpage, located under the Parents tab of the Hyde Park website as we develop our program and join us for our pizza night kickoff on December 4th.

For the safety and security of all students and staff members, visitors are reminded that they must check-in at the main office and obtain a visitors badge before visiting any classrooms. This includes before and after school. Should you have any questions, please contact the main office at, 702-799-4260.

To help you more effectively monitor the progress of your child, the Clark County School District provides a web based system. This system will provide detailed, real-time information, including: Demographics, Schedules, Assignments, Assessment Scores, Calendar, Grades, Attendance, Graduation Progress, Academic Planner, To Do List, Reports, District and School Notices.
