Deadline Alert: Parent Sign-On Letter Closes Tonight!

More than 17,000 Head Start parents and caregivers have already added their names to NHSA’s national Parent Sign-On Letter, helping show what families want protected as changes to the Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) are considered.

There is still time: The deadline has been extended through tonight, Friday, October 2, 2026, to include even more voices.

Sign the Parent Letter. Post a comment on the Federal Register.

Protect Head Start standards that benefit children and families. The federal government has proposed changes to the standards that guide Head Start programs. These changes would affect many of the services that matter most to children and families, including health and other essential services, staff-to-child ratios, support for children with disabilities, how teachers build children’s English proficiency, eligibility for Head Start, and opportunities for parents to lead and have a voice in their local programs.

Adams County Head Start is excited to be a part of the Adams County Community Foundation Giving Spree on November 5th! Your today or forever gifts provide our program stability during difficult budget times and enhancements to our program activities.

Last year, due to the generous donations through the ACCF and the Giving Spree, we were able to provide a martial arts program, through NextSTEP Martial Arts, to several classrooms, where the children gained self-esteem, confidence, discipline and respect.

All of our classrooms were able to enjoy a field trip to Catoctin Zoo with children and families. Our children were excited to see animals they've only ever seen before in the pages of a book!

These opportunities are ones that could not be done without community support due to current funding. Please consider supporting Adams County Head Start in this year's Giving Spree with a forever gift to our endowment, or with a today gift that we can use immediately.
