Quarter 3 Report Cards Available Online

Congratulations to our wonderful students for their hard work, engagement, and persistence throughout the first three quarters of our school year. Our teachers. and entire staff, are appreciative of the ongoing partnership and encouragement our families provide.

3rd Quarter Report Cards are available to families via HCPSS Connect.  Report Cards offer an important opportunity for families to review student academic progress together so that growth and accomplishments may be celebrated, while goals to address areas needed for improvement may also be established. The Deep Run staff is extrememly proud of the students and the growth they made during the third quarter!

Accessing Report Cards

  • Please log into HCPSSConnect.
  • Select “More Options” (Family File, Report Cards, etc) from menu on left side of screen.
  • Select Report Card tab on the right.

Related Arts Grading

  • Please note that Related Arts grades, for this year only, are communicated on the Report Cards on a semester basis (after the 2nd Q and after the 4th Q).This means that there will not be any Related Arts grades listed on the 3rd Q report card this afternoon.
  • Asynchronous Related Arts assignments were eliminated once HCPSS adopted the Hybrid schedule on March 1.  All assignments are now designed to be completed synchronously during class time, whether the students are participating in-person or virtually.
