How can I contact the Office of Pupil Personnel Services?
You can email residency@hcpss.org or call 410-313-6997.
How can I find out which school is my child’s designated school?
HCPSS has a school locator online application. Click on School Locator. After you agree to the terms and conditions, enter your address where it says ‘Find address or place’ at the top of the page. Click find and the designated school will pop up.
How will I be notified about the decision for my reassignment request?
You will receive a reassignment determination via email within 45 school (business) days from the date the student reassignment request and supporting documentation are received. The determination may be delayed if supporting documentation was not submitted at the same time as the request form.
If my child is reassigned at their current school level, will they automatically qualify for reassignment at the next level?
No. You must reapply for reassignment when the student changes school levels. Prior approval does not guarantee future approval.
How long does it take to process my reassignment request?
A determination will be issued within 45 school (business) days from the date the student reassignment request and supporting documentation are received.
Reasons processing may be delayed include, but are not limited to:
- Supporting documentation and the reassignment request are not submitted at the same time
- The student’s residency documentation on file is not correct or current
- School closures or delays
I want to request student reassignment for next school year. When can I apply?
The date differs depending on the category of reassignment. Please refer to the main reassignment page for information regarding application windows.
What are the categories of student reassignment?
RELOCATION - You can request reassignment under this category if you moved after the start of the current school year and would like your child to finish the school year at their current school. Tuition will be assessed if your move is out of the county. Next year, your child must attend the newly designated school. Exceptions are granted to students who have a change of residence after achieving junior status; they may remain at their current school through graduation.
How do I request student reassignment?
There is a Student Reassignment Request Form (SRRF) for each category of student reassignment. Request forms for the Build/Buy/Lease, Hardship, and Employee categories of student reassignment are available online. The request form for the Relocation category will be offered by the child’s current school once the school has received new residency documentation and only if the family is eligible for reassignment.
Why isn’t my bus included if my / my child’s school is part of the bus card pilot program?
Only buses serviced by Zum Services, Inc., are part of the program as that transportation provider has the required hardware and software readily available.
