From staff reports
The team at Hickory Public Schools isnât waiting until school is out for the summer. The school district is already immersed in a campaign to capture the attention of families, reminding everyone that the fall semester begins for students Aug. 23.
Over the past year, with the cloud of COVID-19 limiting in-person learning, the district has shifted the sails to a positive direction, navigating forward. The HPS teachers, staff and administrators are steering toward an exciting return to school.
âGranted, we are just wrapping up the 2020-2021 school year with our last day and graduation ceremonies scheduled for this Friday, May 28, and our HPS Summer Learning Program is starting soon; but Iâve heard teachers, staff, and even students share their enthusiasm for the return to normal for the new school year,â said Beverly Snowden, HPS director of communications.
