After an amazing day with hundreds of HCPS employees volunteering to participate in the district's COVID testing event, the administrative team has met to evaluate the feasibility of reopening HCPS schools on Monday. We are excited to report we will enthusiastically welcome our students and staff back on Monday, August 23 on-time! We appreciate the patience of our families and are prepared at this time to adequately staff all HCPS buildings next week.
Please be advised that our new virtual programming component originally scheduled to officially launch on Monday will be delayed one day so that we can ensure all students already identified have the appropriate tools and technology to start virtual learning on Tuesday, August 24, 2021. All in-person students should report back to school on Monday.
With both an in-person and virtual option now available for every student as of Tuesday, each student is expected to attend instruction. We appreciated your patience as we worked to expand the virtual opportunity to more students.
We look forward to welcoming all HCPS family members back next week!
Melody Hackney, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
