February 25 3 Hour Early Dismissal
February 26 3 Hour Early Dismissal
At the Board of Education meeting last week, the Board approved a change to the 2020/21 academic calendar. The purpose of this change is to provide our teachers and staff with time to prepare their classrooms for students to return for in-person instruction beginning on March 1. Therefore, Thursday, February 25, and Friday, February 26 will now be 3-Hour Early Dismissal days for students. The early dismissal schedule is posted on the HCPSS website.
Under the general supervision of the school principal, with guidance from instructional staff, the Classroom Monitor provides in-person classroom assistance to a virtual teacher and supports students during synchronous virtual instruction. For more information on this position, please contact Carol Ketterman, Assistant Principal - carol_ketterman@hcpss.org.
Students must be up to date with immunizations before returning to school. If students are not up to date with immunizations, parents will be called to pick their student up from school.
