HCPSS / NEWS

Stay Up to Date with HCPSS News

July 13th, 2015

HCPSS News keeps parents/guardians, community members and employees up to date on news and events, and delivers real-time notices of bus schedule changes, weather-related closings and emergency information via email messages and text alerts.

Parents and guardians of currently enrolled HCPSS students automatically receive HCPSS News emails from the district and their child’s school based on contact information submitted through the Emergency Card process last school year. Subscription information for parents of newly enrolled students and students changing schools will be automatically added to and/or updated in the system before the school year begins.

To comply with wireless carrier requirements, parents must opt into receiving HCPSS text message alerts. Standard data fees and text messaging rates may apply based on your mobile plan. Prior to the start of the school year, parents/guardians new to HCPSS will receive a text message prompt from the number 68453. Parents/guardians must opt in by replying to the text message with a text that simply says Y. Parents who opted in last year will not need to opt in again.

Community members and employees who are not HCPSS parents must sign up to receive either email and/or text messages from the district and/or specific schools. To receive messages, please visit our sign-up page.
