A Note from HPA President Courtney Johnson

The beginning of the 2023-2024 School Year is fast approaching. It’s time to pull out those uniforms and put away your flip-flops! Whether you are sad to see the summer come to an end or are eagerly awaiting the first day of School, the Hockaday Parents’ Association (HPA) is ready to welcome you back.
 
Over the summer, Hannah Strom, Vice President-Elect, and the New Family Outreach (NFO) Chairs welcomed new families with exciting events and get-togethers. A big “Thank You” to all our Welcome Families. Resale Chairs, Aaron and Laura Navarro, held two very successful summer resale events and are opening the Resale Boutique again on August 21 (Sales Tax Holiday) and August 22. Equally as busy this summer, Vice President Laurie Sudbury, together with your Grade Representatives, have been planning events for the school year to bring our community and your class together!
 
Other members of the 2023-2024 HPA Board of Directors have also worked many hours preparing events that are sure to bring a lot of excitement to our school community. Watch for more details in upcoming Daisy News updates, and be sure to check your class pages for grade-level calendar updates and activities.
 
If you haven’t already, take a look at Sign Up Genius for all kinds of volunteer opportunities – check out your child’s Division and All School tabs for positions that work with your time and talents. Bookstore, Concessions, Advisory Parents, Fun Day, and Benefit are still looking for volunteers!
 
Join us Monday, August 21 and Tuesday, August 22 in the LLARC to learn more about the HPA and ways to get involved!
 
New this year…for the first time ever, the HPA has its own T-Shirt. Stop by and purchase an HPA T-Shirt and show off your HPA spirit every time you volunteer.
 
Welcome back, everyone! I’m looking forward to a great year made possible by our wonderful faculty and staff, students, parents, and all HPA Volunteers. See you around campus!
