Students Observing Ramadan
Ramadan begins this weekend and extends through May 2nd. As Ramadan is a time when some Muslims fast from dawn to sunset as part of their observance, we understand that we may have students not partaking in food or water during the school day. In an effort to be supportive to the needs of our students, students are welcome to spend their lunch period in the Media Center if they choose not to join their peers in the cafeteria. Please let your child’s teacher or the front office know if you would like your child to access this space. Should your student require additional support or accommodations during Ramadan, please reach out to Mrs. Strong and Mrs. Golden. For all those celebrating Ramadan, we hope it is a rich and meaningful month for you.
Tentative Last Day of School
As of Wednesday, March 16, 2022, HCPSS has used four inclement weather days this school year and made up one of those days by opening schools February 21. As such, the last day for pre-K/RECC students is currently Tuesday, June 14, and for K-12 students is Friday, June 17, 2022. Full details on the calendar are available online.

Chromebook Tips from the Media Center
When charging your Chromebook, the preferred charging side is actually the right side without the blue light. You can take turns charging your Chromebook on different sides, but try to use the right side more often. Turn your Chromebook off every now and then to let it rest.
When you run into tech issues- there is an entire module you have access to: https://hcpss.instructure.com/courses/77796/modules#module_370391 (Links to an external site.) Some of the module pages we refer to the most when troubleshooting are System Errors, Audio and Video Challenges, and Browser Tune Up. Here you can find ways to refresh, reset, reset Chrome, and check your mic! We recommend bookmarking this page for easy access.
Please also remember to care for your Chromebook as you are now responsible for its upkeep. You should not be placing any stickers on your device, nor should you be using it while eating or drinking. Be sure not to store it in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. This device will follow you throughout your time with HCPSS, so be sure to give it some love!

The virtual academic support being provided through the Evening School Program will conclude for this school year on April 7.
