What a great opportunity for some of our community members and staff! It was a success as we reached our goal for number of patients! We are looking forward to setting it up again for next school year. As soon as a date is determined, we will be sure to share it! Thank you Kristi Rhoads, IFM Clinic Manager, for organizing this opportunity! Special thanks to Mercy and their staff as well!

We had a fantastic start to the school year at HPMS! We had fun building our communities, learned a brand new schedule, and had a great week. #hpsdtigers
As most of you know, we partner with IFM, Institute for Family Medicine, to provide an on site health clinic connected to our central office and preschool building. This message is for anyone interested in making an appointment for a Mammography Exam on Thursday, August 22, 2024, through the use of the Mercy Mammography Van, which will be parked on the Central Office parking lot, at 9417 South Broadway. Please see the attached flyers.
We are looking forward to the 2024-2025 school year! Hancock Place School District opens for students on Monday, August 19th. Students will be at the bus stops and walking to school. Use caution and help keep our students safe. #hpsdtigers
A reminder from @MoDOT_StLouis if you're driving on a two-lane connected roadway, you MUST STOP for school buses with flashing lights and an extended 'stop' sign. This is the law for traffic moving the same AND opposite directions of the bus. On roadways with four or more lanes, traffic flowing the same direction of the bus must stop. Traffic on the other side of the median or barrier should use caution.
GREAT OPPORTUNITY for some district residents and staff! August 22, 2024, from 9am to 4pm, the Mercy Mammography Van will be located at our Central Office parking lot, 9417 S. Broadway. Call to schedule an appointment at 314-251-6300, select option 0. Please see both attached fliers for requirements and more details!
Welcome Back Tigers!!!! The 2024-2025 School year is right around the corner. It's going to be a great year!!!!
Students will have the opportunity to update their MCV4 and Tdap vaccinations at the Hancock Middle School Back to School Event on Wednesday, August 14 from 5:00pm-7:00pm . All incoming 8th graders need to have their MCV4 before the start of the school year. #hpsdtigers
HPMS Volleyball camp begins next week. Be sure to contact Ms. Harrison if interested.
We have an amazing preschool program that is 5 days per week and full day from 8am to 3pm. We also have before care starting at 7am for only $87 monthly, and after care from 3pm to 5:30pm for only $122 monthly.
It is FREE to all district residents, and ONLY $450 monthly if you live outside of our district's boundaries. We had 17 nonresident students last year due to the quality and cost of our program! This is much cheaper than most, if not all, other TRUE educational based preschools and childcare centers.
SPOTS fill up quickly. We currently have 4 classrooms available for full day, and 2 and 1/2 of them are already filled. We cap our full day classrooms at 20 students and provide a qualified and certified teacher and qualified teacher assistant to each classroom. Our teachers and teacher assistants meet the qualifications for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, present at conferences, and are visited by other school districts' staff members, state representatives, county officials, agencies, and others to see the outstanding practices taking place on a daily basis at all times. We teach to the Missouri Early Learning Standards using universal screening tools, competency based instruction, progress monitoring, data analysis, and parent communication!
Our wrap around services are second to NONE! We partner with many agencies, organizations, and others, including but not limited to Ready Readers, The Little Bit Foundation, Special School District, Institute for Family Medicine, SLU, St. Louis County Library, and MORE!
Please feel free to share this post and/or information with others! Remember that SPOTS FILL UP QUICKLY, so it is important to visit ps.hpsd.school to enroll!
Congratulations HPMS and HPHS for their success in each accomplishing recognition as a State and National School of Character. The process for this is rigorous, as it requires a leader to coordinate, organize, and complete. Mr. Veldhuizen and Mr. Ferguson spearheaded these respective processes to their completion in their respective buildings. Teamwork was definitely needed and included staff, community members, parents, and students! There is a written application and then a virtual visit. The written application requires narratives about your character journey and how you implement the 11 principles of character (a narrative for each principle). You have to provide academic and discipline data, demographic data, and survey data. The virtual site visit involves 30 minute interviews with the following groups: administrators/counselors, teachers, character education committee, and parents/community members. Well deserved CONGRATULATIONS!
-Dr. Dittrich
