Guided by our mission to inspire, lead, and empower success through accountability and resilience, we are dedicated to creating a culture of lifelong learning. Our vision is to inspire students to learn, lead, and succeed in an ever-changing world.</span></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin-bottom:0.5em;margin-top:0.5em;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration-line:none;text-decoration-style:solid;text-decoration-thickness:auto;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"><span>At HPSD, we emphasize the importance of literacy and numeracy as foundational skills for all students. Our literacy strategy is designed to create literacy-rich environments where students engage with language confidently and meaningfully. We employ divisional benchmarks and screening tools to assess students' reading comprehension and writing skills, using data to inform instructional decisions. Each school has a literacy committee, and a divisional committee ensures that actions are prioritized according to the HPSD Literacy Framework.</span></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin-bottom:0.5em;margin-top:0.5em;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration-line:none;text-decoration-style:solid;text-decoration-thickness:auto;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"><span>Numeracy is equally prioritized, with strategies to develop students' proficiency in engaging with quantitative and spatial information. Our numeracy committee, comprising teacher representatives from each school, examines data and research to recommend effective teaching and assessment strategies. Tools like the Elk Island Math Intervention Tool and visual data representation in Dossier support teachers in asse

These educators provide targeted professional development, direct instruction, and consultation with service providers to meet the diverse needs of our students. Additionally, our Indigenous Education Coaches work to ensure that all students understand Canadian history, including Indigenous cultures and perspectives, supporting the calls to action in Truth and Reconciliation.</span></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin-bottom:0.5em;margin-top:0.5em;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration-line:none;text-decoration-style:solid;text-decoration-thickness:auto;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"><span>We are proud of our comprehensive educational programs and services, which include dual credit opportunities, character education, and mental health support through our wellness team.
