HPMS offers a variety of after-school clubs supervised by HP staff members. All students are welcome to attend clubs. Most clubs begin at 2:50P and end at 3:50P. If your child takes the bus to and from school, they are considered a "regular bus rider" and they will be able to get a ride home on one of HP's activity buses after attending a staff supervised after-school club or activity. A bus pass will be required to ride the activity bus. Club advisors will distribute bus passes to students who participate in after-school activities. Activity buses depart from the front entrance of HPMS at approximately 4:05P. Please note: Most athletic practices end after 4:00P so the activity bus is not an option for those students participating in after-school sports teams.

CLICK HERE FOR 2022-2023 CLUB LISTING

ACTIVITY BUS INFORMATION FOR MONDAY - THURSDAY (NO ABs on FRIDAY)

Need to take an Activity Bus? Here is all the info you need:

• Students must be a regular bus rider (live within the school bus boundaries)
  
• There are two Activity Buses (a NORTH bus and a SOUTH bus).
• Students need to know their address to get on the correct bus.
• There are limited stops on the route, so it may not be your child's regular stop but somewhat close in proximity.
  
• Students may ask the bus drivers to find out which bus they should take and what stop they should get off. Students need to know their home address.
• This is NOT your student's regular bus route. Your student's arrival time home will be determined by the number of stops on any given day.
• Activity Buses leave at approximately 4:10PM from the front of the school.
• Activity Buses on All-School Party days will depart school later and arrive home later.

If you have questions, please call school at 425-366-5100
