HCSD understands that effective professional development enables educators to develop the knowledge and skills they need to address students’ academic and social emotional needs.

Athletics and extracurricular activities play a critical part in the lives of students.  We will expand academic support for students before and after school at the elementary level as well as after school for secondary students; and we will continue to offer the virtual Homework Assistance program for students in grades 6-12.  We will create new opportunities for students to participate in at all levels, that encourage creativity, build confidence, and lead to stronger connections between students, peers and the school.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused students and families to face emotional and social challenges due to the loss of socialization and support services.  HCSD will increase our current mental health staff by increasing a part-time position from .4 to .6 and by adding one additional school social worker for a two year appointment . School social workers are trained mental health professionals who assist students and families with mental health and behavioral concerns, provide positive behavioral supports, along with academic and classroom support.

HCSD plans to increase our academic intervention staff by adding an additional reading teacher, as well as a 1.5 math teacher, for grades K-5 for a two year appointment.  The academic intervention staff provide direct services to students, using evidence-based practices to identify and support skill deficits.
