Kindergarten Registration

Parents/guardians of new incoming students and those entering kindergarten in the 2020-2021 school year (who are not already enrolled) are able to begin the enrollment process online, followed by completion of the registration process when schools reopen. Online registration is not required and parents may elect to complete the full registration in person at the time of reopening.

Once school buildings reopen, parents will be contacted to complete the registration at the child’s school. Parents or legal guardians must visit their child’s school and provide proof of parental relationship and any other documents not provided during the online registration process.

Learning Together Program

During this unprecedented time of school closure, we recognize the additional stressors that many of our families are working through. Therefore, HCPSS is waiving the fees for families who have children participating in the Learning Together Program for the month of April and May.  Families will receive further communication if you paid in advance, and regarding the payments for March and June.

Free Grab N Go Meals at Deep Run

Free Grab-N-Go meals are served weekdays from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. to anyone age 18 and under and/or any HCPSS student at Deep Run Elementary. Participants are encouraged to bring bags to carry meals home. Please note that parents/guardians may pick up meals for their children, who do not need to be present. Social distancing is in place during meal distribution.
