Hello Gators,

 

As we move into late summer, please take note of the information below to help prepare for the upcoming school year. 

 

Student schedules: 

Students’ schedules will be available on Thursday, August 20 for the 2020-2021 school year. To access students’ schedules log in to HCPSS connect.  It is important to note that this list may not reflect semesters, periods, or teachers at this time.  All fully scheduled students should have four courses in the fall semester and four courses in the spring semester. If you see fewer than eight courses, your counselor is currently working on completing your schedule.

 

High School Supplies: 

High school teachers will inform students of any needed supplies at the start of the school year in their syllabus. The number of supplies requested will be reduced to keep costs down for families and reflect those most essential for virtual learning. It may be necessary to replenish supplies during the school year as needed.

 

Fall 2020 Collection of Materials:

In preparation for the 2020-2021 school year, we want to share information related to the collection of materials still in your possession from last year and the distribution of new materials for use this school year. 

 

Please know that our number one priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of every student, staff, and family member during this process. We ask that you adhere to the following guidelines: 

Students and parents/guardians should remain in their cars during drop-off and pick-up of materials. Students and parents/guardians who will walk/bike to the school should also adhere to social distancing expectations throughout the process and will be directed by HCPSS staff upon arrival. 

Students and parents/guardians must wear masks and adhere to social distancing guidelines at all times.

 

Materials Drop Off 

Materials must be returned to the school they were borrowed from (i.e. the student’s 2019-2020 school). It is up to the discretion of each HCPSS school to set collection and distribution dates. All materials returned will sit for a four-day period as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention prior to being inventoried. If your child attended a different school last year, please go to the school's website to view their collection plan. If your child attended our school last year, our collection plan is as follows:

 

Six stations will be set up in the RHS parking lot from 9:00 - 1:00 on 8/26, 8/27, 8/31 and 9/1: (1) Check-In, (2) Instruments/Athletic Equipment, (3) Chromebooks, (4-6) Textbooks/ Novels. Your students assigned material drop off time will be dependent on their assigned grade for the 20-21 school year and last name (see below). 

 

Collection Dates:

Wednesday, August 26: Grade 10

Thursday, August 27: Grade 11

Monday, August 31: Grade 12

Tuesday, September 1: Makeup Date

 

Assigned Drop-off Times for each of the dates above (alpha by student last name):

9:00 - 10:00: A - F

10:00 - 11:00: G - L

11:00 - 12:00: M - R

12:00 - 1:00: S - Z

 

Thank you for your collaboration in this process and be on the lookout for more information soon about our materials distribution plan. 

  

Take care, 

Karim Shortridge, Ed.D.
