At Hartford Public Schools, our mission is to provide all students with the learning and support they need to succeed in school and in life. To achieve this mission, we need to reimagine and innovate on traditional approaches to school, so that we deepen students’ learning, interest in school, and ability to thrive. 

In service of our mission, HPS is piloting innovative approaches to school design. In the new school year, select schools will join an “Innovation Network” where they will build their knowledge of innovative school practices, create a vision and plan for what innovation looks like in their school, and begin to implement their plan. 

We need your input!  Because the voices, desires, and perspectives of our community are essential for the success of this work, we are asking you to share your feedback.  The survey provides an opportunity for you to share your ideas for the future of Hartford’s schools and how we can best move forward in the spirit of innovation.  Please  respond thoughtfully and candidly, as your input will directly inform our work.  Your responses will remain anonymous.  Para continuar en Español, busca la palabra "English" en la esquina derecha y cambia la a “Español."
