Grade Level Meetings with the Administrators
At the beginning of each school year, Mrs. Lancaster, Mrs. Quirk, and Mrs. Townsend meet with each grade level team to review school system policies and procedures with students. The following topics are shared in a developmentally appropriate manner with grades K-5. You can learn more about HCPSS policies on the HCPSS Website. The Student and Parent Handbook also includes information shared with the students.
We explained to students that toys should be left at home, including fidgets and poppers. We also explained that in elementary schools, cell phones need to be off and in backpacks during the school day.
