Parent Portal
Important Documents
|
The parent portal allows parents to "link" their children to their parent account and gather information from their teacher in real-time. There is also a mobile app that allows you to gather information right from your phone. This is a great tool to have as it is used district wide. In order to log in to the parent portal, you must create an account and will need you parent pin. You must contact your school to receive this information as this is highly sensitive.

Connecting to HGE
Join our amazing PTA! |
At HGE, we use Remind 101 to connect to parents as a school wide initiative. In fact, our Principal is the one who is in charge and sends out the messages. By enrolling in this FREE text-messaging service, you will receive updates on what is going on in the school and reminders of upcoming events or promotions. Although we use Remind101 as a tool for the administration to contact parents (as a group) in real-time, each teacher has their individual form of connecting with parents. We've had 100% compliance with parents connecting in the classrooms and we hope to keep it up! |
Community Supports
|
We seek to ensure a successful educational experience for children and youth who are in M-DCPS living in unstable housing by collaborating with parents, schools, and community partners through opening the doors to academic opportunities, removing barriers, and promoting a healthy sense of self.
Operated by The Office of Community Engagement and located at Lindsey Hopkins Technical Center, The Shop at M-DCPS provides resources for students and families in need. Students and families can only make a request through their school sites. Resources available for families and students include: clothing, shoes, backpacks, school supplies, toiletries, personal items and non-perishable food. |

M-DCPS recognizes that a primary concern of parents is the safety of their children. On Friday, February 28, 2020, the attached letter was disseminated via email to parents.

2020-2021 School Year News

From the M-DCPS...
Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) is committed to making the soundest decisions regarding our reopening, and we strongly believe in making those decisions based on science. Our approach is comprehensive in nature and it is informed by what we see happening internationally as well as by national guidance, state guidance, and local decisions.
M-DCPS strives to safely return students to the physical schoolhouse, but recognizes that doing so will not be possible while Miami-Dade County remains in Phase 1 of The Plan for Florida's Recovery. M-DCPS 2020 – 2021 proposed plan assumes schools will reopen once Miami-Dade County is in Phase 2. The plan is built to ensure the District can rapidly pivot, if necessary, in response to a shift back to Phase 1 or to a broader reopening under a transition to Phase 3. |
From our Home at HGE...
Although we still do not know what this year holds ahead of us, we are dedicated to ensuring the best possible situation from whatever may occur.
At Hialeah Gardens Elementary, we are prepared to present all students with LEGO Education lessons virtually. We are working on ways to get students equipped with their own personal LEGO kits at home. On top of LEGO education, we recently were designated GOLD for STEAM and we plan to continue that despite what our new classroom settings may look like. More so, over the past couple of years we have taken such precautions in our students' social-emotional learning and health and we strive to continue working on helping their achieve success in and out of the academic setting. |
