The mission of the Communications Department is to inform families and the local public of school division events, achievements, and urgent updates. We strive to maintain the highest level of integrity in all that we do for our students and staff.

Hopewell City Public Schools wants to keep you informed and alerted to important information! We use several different ways to communicate with families and interested citizens.

ParentSquare:

Hopewell City Public Schools (HCPS) is dedicated to keeping our families and employees informed and engaged through ParentSquare, our unified communications platform. ParentSquare provides both division-wide and individual school notifications via automated calls, text messages, and emails to ensure you receive timely and relevant information.

- Parents and guardians of registered students
- HCPS employees
If you are not currently receiving messages, please contact your child’s school to update your contact information on the registration form.
ParentSquare offers a safe and convenient way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to:
1. Send and Receive School and Class Information: Stay updated on important announcements and news.
2. Share Pictures and Files: Easily exchange media and documents.
3. View Calendar Items: Keep track of upcoming events and important dates.
4. Sign Up to Volunteer: Get involved with school activities and initiatives.
5. Schedule Parent-Teacher Conferences: Quickly book meetings with your child’s educators.
6. And Much More: All from one centralized platform!
By leveraging ParentSquare, HCPS aims to enhance communication, promote engagement, and create stronger connections within our school community.

For additional help ParentSquare has provided a video tutorial.

Social Media: Hopewell City Public Schools also distributes information and updates through social media, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. Links to each can be found on the Hopewell City Public Schools division homepage.

Buses: To stay updated on bus schedules, changes, and delays, use The Edulog Parent Portal Life App. With this app parents will be notified when a bus is late as well as see the location of the bus. Information in the app can be customized to be specific to your child's bus number. We encourage all families to download this app. To use this app:

In your app store, search for and download the Edulog Parent Portal Lite app
Sign up, create, and validate your account
Under 'Districts' enter the District Code (32048663)
Select your child's route
Under the 'Settings' tab, enable notifications so you never miss a bus status message
