HCPSS Redistricting for 22-23 with Information Specific for Deep Run Families

On October 13th the Board of Education held a work session related to the redistricting process to open New High School #13. At the meeting the Board voted to continue considering the Superintendent's Recommendation as the preliminary plan. This preliminary plan does not include any changes to the assigned high school for Deep Run families. Most students attend Long Reach HS and a small number of students living very close to Deep Run ES go to Oakland Mills HS. This preliminary plan has no changes for the middle school Deep Run students would attend. There will be no redistricting of elementary schools. At this time there is no guarantee this is the plan that will be adopted. The Board of Education's vote is currently planned for November 17th.

The Feasibility Study conducted earlier this year presented four scenario plans. It should be noted that some of the scenarios included changes in high school for Deep Run ES families. Scenario A has Deep Run students going to Oakland Mills HS, Long Reach HS and Hammond HS. Scenario B has all Deep Run students going to Long Reach High School. Scenario C increases the number of students going to Oakland Mills HS and keeping some students at Long Reach HS. Scenario D keeps the high schools for Deep Run students as they are now.

More information about redistricting can be found on the HCPSS Website. Questions can be sent to school_planning@hcpss.org.

PTA Trunk or Treat

The Deep Run PTA will sponsor Trunk or Treat at Deep Run on October 27th from 6:00-7:30. Candy donations and decorated car trunks are needed for this event.

The PTA would love for you to join us in our spooky night of fun. We need volunteers who can come up with some fun creative trunks! If you want to participate in trunk decorating please sign up using this link. https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/20f0e4daaae2daafa7-trunk/49724296

If you aren't feeling creative enough to decorate a trunk, you can always feed our candy monsters. The PTA is looking for candy donations. Candy can be dropped off in our monster boxes in the vestibule of Deep Run.
