We appreciate the offers of help from our community. HCPSS and Bright Minds Foundation, the school system’s educational foundation, have launched an emergency Access to Learning Fund to raise money for critical education access supports for HCPSS students during the extended coronavirus school closure.
The Access to Learning Fund will support the purchase and use of learning resources, including items such as assistive technology, connectivity resources, online memberships, printed materials, mailing costs, multimedia equipment and other supplementary resources some families may need to support remote student learning.
Contributions to the Access to Learning Fund may be made in the following ways:
- Visit the Bright Minds website under DONATE.
- Text HCPSS to 501-55.
- Mail a check to the Bright Minds Foundation, 10910 Clarksville Pike, Ellicott City, MD 21042. Please designate “Access to Learning Fund” in the comment field.
Please email the HCPSS Partnerships Office (partnerships@hcpss.org) if you need assistance.
In addition, HCPSS is accepting donations of Personal Protective Equipment that meets minimum standards defined online. Please email purchasing@hcpss.org with the subject line “Donate PPE” and describe the products that you wish to donate. Once approved, you will receive instructions on where and when you may drop off your donation.
