September 3rd, 2020

As we near the first day of the 2020-2021 school year, we have several updates families should be aware of.

Fall Meal Service – FREE for all students through December

The food services program during the first semester of the 2020-2021 school year will consist of free Grab-and-Go meals served Monday through Friday from 8–9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.–12:45 p.m., beginning Tuesday, September 8. Breakfast and lunch can be picked up at either meal time. Meals will be provided free of charge for all students, subject to USDA funding availability. Detailed information about meals for the 2020-21 school year are provided online.

Video Instruction Recordings

Students’ active participation in synchronous (live) instruction sessions is critically important to effective learning. HCPSS does not allow video recordings of live instruction, because recorded sessions could hinder students’ from active class participation, violate privacy rights and accessibility requirements, and other factors.
