We are excited to work together to spread kindness.

We would like to lighten up the mood during our first month of the new year! What better way than to continue the HPS tradition to have a spirit week! This year, your child will have the opportunity to dress up during the week of January 25-29. Students can pay $3 to dress up for the whole week (Due Monday, Jan 25) or $1 per day! There is no cost to dress up on Friday because that is a regularly scheduled casual day. We are looking forward to this fun school-wide event!

This is a friendly reminder that Angel Tree submissions must be submitted by tomorrow, Dec. 2nd. Information is below:
Hillsdale Preparatory School is proud to be the family school. As a family, we want to do whatever we can to help each other out. One of the ways we like to help during the holiday season is by offering an Angel Tree. The Angels on the tree represent a child in need. The Angel Tree will be put up in the lobby of the school and families who would like to help out will take an Angel off the tree and sponsor that child. We know that due to COVID-19, many of our families are enduring hardships that may make celebrating the holidays more difficult than past years. If you or someone you know are in financial need this holiday season, please click the link below and fill out the form. All personal identifying information will remain completely confidential.

The board meeting scheduled for tonight, November 24 has been cancelled.

We are looking forward to continuing our Thanksgiving tradition and having a Thanksgiving feast in our classrooms Wednesday. Your child has been assigned an item to bring for their feast. Please be sure to send them in on Wednesday morning! If you know that your child will not be at school Wednesday, please let your child's teacher know asap so they can re-assign items if needed!


Parents, we are getting some confusion about casual day and when students can wear it. Please remember casual day is only the last Friday of the month. We always put a reminder on the sign and send a text the night before. The dates are also available on our website. If your child earns a Patriot Prize they can wear casual clothes the following Monday. A sticker will always be sent home on Friday letting you know they can wear casual clothes on Monday. On non casual Fridays students can wear HPS spirit wear. You are always welcome to call and check with the office if you are unsure about casual day.

Hillsdale Prep has partnered with Charleston Wrap to host a fully virtual fundraiser. The fundraiser will start November 17 and end December 1. On Tuesday, November 17 we will send a flyer home with each family explaining how to register your child and participate. We will also be posting the flyer on our Facebook and website. We are really excited for this COVID safe way to earn money for HPS. Keep an eye out for that flyer next week!

Last night HPS hosted their first trunk or treat featuring trunks created by each classroom. The winning class will all receive a copy of the book the trunk is based on. Click on the individual picture and click like to vote. Voting will last through the weekend. Votes will be counted and a winner announced on Monday morning. Feel free to share with friends and family to help your child's class win the competition!!
