HPS students will be on holiday break beginning Monday, December 23 through Monday, January 6. Schools will reopen on Tuesday, January 7.
Schools will operate on their regular full-day schedule on Friday, December 20. Families should plan to send their children to school for the full day on Friday.
“As we head into next week’s holiday break, families are reminded of the importance for their children to be in school on time every day that classes are in session,” said Superintendent Anthony Soto. “We encourage every student to make daily attendance and punctuality a high priority, beginning in kindergarten and all the way through high school. We know there is a direct correlation between regular school attendance and our students’ overall academic achievement and sense of belonging.”
