Important Update from the Superintendent on In-Person Hybrid Instruction
Families
Meals will be provided at no cost to all students any weekday school is in session through the 2020-2021 school year. Meals include breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack. Meals may be pre-ordered for pickup on Mondays or Thursdays only.
Families
For the 2020-2021 school year, while in virtual, small groups or hybrid instructional models, HCPSS may transition to fully virtual instruction during inclement weather days. This will allow the school system to make a decision earlier when inclement weather is expected, provide families with earlier notice in order to make necessary adjustments, and largely allow HCPSS to follow the academic calendar, as scheduled.
System
HCPSS has partnered with the Jemicy School to increase staff understanding of the science of reading and dyslexia, as well as the appropriate strategies to help ensure all students develop academic skills and a love of learning.
