Letter on Inclement Weather from CEO/Superintendent

Dear HCSS East & West Students, Faculty, Parents & Guardians,

Our primary goal in Hampden Charter School of Science is to ensure that our students and staff are safe. We want to share some information regarding our school system’s inclement weather procedures and how they apply to the families whose children ride the bus to school. During the winter months, conditions may make it necessary to close schools. School policy, in general, is not to close the school unless weather and road conditions are such that the possible hazards to the children’s safety outweigh the educational value of school. When conditions are too dangerous for buses to be on the roads, schools will be closed. Hampden Charter School of Science adheres to closing judgments made by the HCSS administration.

Science & Technology Program

The Science and Technology Program at HCSS is a highly challenging four-year curriculum which provides college-level academic experiences in science, math, and technology. 

I am a parent of two children at HCSS. One is a graduate and attending Western New England University and the other is a Junior at HCSS. HCSS allows children who would be floundering to go to flourishing. I have witnessed that on first hand with multiple students”

Athletics

At HCSS, students develop passion beyond the classroom. They succeed not just in a win, but in the effort, and step back on the field each day, ready to work again.

“My son wanted no part of continuing to further his education after high school. We are proud to say that our son is now applying to college for continuing education for young adults with learning disabilities. “
