Please log into membership toolkit and update your family information, what contact info you want in the directory, and your child's teacher. This will ensure families can reach you through the school directory, that you receive HP PTCO updates (events, reminders, etc.) and that you'll receive messages from your room parents for teacher celebrations, class parties, and more.
