HTPS EXCELLENCE SPOTLIGHT
As we find ourselves just days away from Thanksgiving, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on the many reasons we have to be grateful here in Hanover Township Public Schools. Each day, our district is filled with examples of kindness, learning, dedication, and connection—reminders of what makes this community so special.
I am deeply grateful for our students, whose curiosity, energy, and enthusiasm brighten our schools. To our incredible teachers and staff, thank you for the meaningful work you do each day to support, encourage, and guide our learners. A special thank-you goes to our elementary teachers for the time, care, and commitment they put into Fall Conferences. Their investment in each child’s growth and success is inspiring. Research consistently shows that a strong home—school partnership is a key factor in student achievement, and we are thankful for the collaboration and trust of our families.
Our gratitude also extends to our administrators for their steady leadership; to our PTAs for their dedication and countless contributions; and to our Board of Education for their ongoing support and investment in our district.
Together, we truly are "A Community That Inspires Excellence," and our students benefit every day from the collective effort and partnership of so many.
As we head into the holiday, I wish you and your families a joyful, restful, and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving!
Earlier this month, our Strategic Planning Core Team held its first meeting—and it set a powerful tone for the work ahead. The session was filled with deep discussions, meaningful dialogue, and opportunities to “dream big” about the future of our schools and the opportunities we want to create for our students.
If you would like to stay informed throughout the process, you can visit our Strategic Planning page on the District's website. We will post updates after each monthly meeting so the community can follow our progress.
Together, we look forward to shaping a bold and thoughtful roadmap for the next five years of HTPS!
With winter approaching and the increased likelihood of weather-related schedule changes, we want to ensure everyone is receiving emergency notifications. To help us check, the district will conduct a test of the system on Monday, December 1 @ 5PM.
In the event of a school closing, delayed opening, or early dismissal, the SchoolMessenger system through PowerSchool will be activated. All teachers/staff and families will receive a phone call, text message, and email.
If you do not receive the test alert through one or more of these methods, please complete this form so we can ensure your contact information is accurate and up to date.
