This month’s HTPS Excellence Spotlight highlights a busy and positive March across the district. Mr. Toomey’s message reflects strong student growth, a full calendar of events, and pride in the work happening in every school. Across Bee Meadow, Mountview, Salem Drive, and Memorial Junior School, students took part in author visits, reading celebrations, concerts, plays, talent shows, science activities, athletics, leadership programs, and hands-on learning experiences that brought classrooms to life. The newsletter shows a district filled with energy, creativity, and strong school spirit.

The newsletter also shares key district updates for families. Staff continued important professional learning work tied to literacy, curriculum, assessment, and collaboration. The strategic planning process is moving into its next phase, while early planning is also underway for a possible March 2027 referendum focused on school facilities, safety, and infrastructure needs. Families are also reminded about the 2026 to 2027 district calendar, kindergarten and preschool registration, upcoming Board of Education meetings, the preliminary budget review, the April 28 budget presentation, and important spring dates such as recess and conferences.
