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.
-
Please write your student’s name on a sheet of paper, large enough to be easily seen, and indicate which items you will be picking up (For Example: Lisa Smithson- Chromebook/Spring Pictures)
Materials, such as textbooks, media center books, and instruments, must be returned to the school they were borrowed from (i.e. the student’s 2019-2020 school). 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 that school’s website to view their collection plan. If your child attended MHMS last year, our collection plan is as follows.
MHMS Materials Drop Off

If you attended MHMS during the 2019-2020 school year, and you are in possession of textbooks, media center books, musical instruments or any other items that belongs to MHMS, please plan to return them during one of the times indicated below.

If your student borrowed a Chromebook, during Continuity of Learning, and will continue in any HCPSS school, they may keep the Chromebook in order to engage in the Virtual Learning that will take place during the first semester of the 2020-2021 school year.
