In July 2022, the Board of Education made several changes to Policy 5200 Student Transportation, including a requirement that all students who qualify for bus transportation must register to receive transportation, beginning with the 2023-2024 school year. The mandatory transportation registration process will be available for families to elect in HCPSS Connect Synergy in the spring of 2023.
The HCPSS website has been updated with the 2023-2024 school start times. Families may locate their school’s start time online.
Start times also can be viewed in the footer of each school website, which can be located online.
On April 15, 2021, the Board of Education directed the Superintendent to review and evaluate the current student school start times and to prepare a recommendation regarding suggested new start times for submission to the Board of Education. The HCPSS Student Transportation Office worked with an independent consultant, Decision Support Group, to analyze current start times, bell schedules and transportation routes and develop a plan that could adjust school opening times.
To build additional time into the student transportation schedule and prioritize getting every student to school on time, school start times will shift effective Wednesday, Sept. 20. Families may locate the new school start times online.
Tuition paid by cash, check, or money order will be refunded in the form of a check mailed to the issuer once the refund request is processed. Refunds by check may take 4–6 weeks to process. Tuition paid by credit card will be refunded to the credit card in accordance with the credit card company’s refund procedure less the service charge.
Once a student is enrolled in a course/program, the Financial Assistance Committee will review the completed applications for those students and notify parents/guardians if additional tuition reduction will be applied.
Parents will be notified by email when a student has been enrolled in a class. Parents must then remit full tuition in order to enroll in and earn credit for High School summer courses.
