What additional supplies do students attending in-person need to bring?

Students who have been provided with a school-issued Chromebook should bring the device and power cord, as well as any external keyboard/mouse they may opt to use. Students without an HCPSS device should bring their own device and power cord. Students who have headphones are encouraged to bring them.

Students should come to school fully prepared with any necessary school supplies (e.g. pencils, notebooks, etc.) Students may check with their teachers for any required supplies on a particular day, especially for related arts.

What is the difference between the one- and two-day options?

As HCPSS gathers commitments for children to receive instruction in-person or virtual, class rosters will be analyzed to determine whether all students requesting in-person instruction can safely attend two days per week based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. The school system recognizes that families may prefer to only send students in-person if they will receive in-person instruction for two days per week, whereas other families may prefer to send students in-person even if it is for one day per week.

What are the requirements for students and staff to wear masks in school buildings?

Update: Aug. 27, 2022

Face masks in HCPSS buildings and/or on school buses are voluntary. Health experts continue to recommend consistent use of well-fitting face masks to reduce the risk of spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. A limited supply of masks are available in HCPSS schools and offices.

Please note, anyone who visits a school health room and presents COVID-19 symptoms will be required to wear a face mask.

Can I/my child switch to an in-person learning model after committing to remaining fully virtual for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year?

Parents/guardians who opt for their student to remain fully virtual may request to switch to the hybrid in-person model at any time during the 2020-2021 school year. However, approval of that request is dependent on available space, social distancing guidelines, and other factors.

What should a staff member do if they are eligible for an accommodation through the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?

Staff with a documented disability may qualify for accommodations. All applications for ADA accommodations are considered and decisions are made based upon the facts of the case. Please note that the age of the employee and disabilities of family members are NOT factors that qualify for ADA accommodations.
