Last Day of School--Today!
Today is the last day of school! We wish all our families a safe, relaxing, and fun summer break. We will begin dismissal today at 12:45 and will "clap out" our 5th graders to celebrate them as they move on to middle school. All grades will exit out the main front doors of the school as a grade. We will begin with 5th grade and end with Kindergarten.
Moving?
If you are moving this summer please let us know so we can assist you in the process of enrolling your child in their next school. If you are moving to another school in Howard County, you can go directly to the new school with your new lease or deed. You will complete a form that will enable the new school to request records from Deep Run. Some schools will require a transfer packet and we are happy to put the packet together for you. If you are moving to another county or out of state, we will prepare a transfer packet for you to take to the new school.
If you are moving to a new home within the Deep Run attendance area, please bring the new lease or deed to school so we can update our records.
Please note: Parents must live in the attendance area of the school where their children will attend. The children must live in the residence with the parents.
More information is available on the Howard County website.
Join us this summer at one or more of our play dates for incoming kindergarten students. Meet us at Waterloo Park to get to know other Deep Run families and make new friends before school starts.

Upcoming HCPSS Boundary Review Process
This past January, the Board of Education directed that HCPSS initiate a systemwide school boundary review, which could potentially impact any or all of the 74 comprehensive schools in our county. This review will begin on June 13 with the presentation of the 2019 Feasibility Study and is critical due to population growth that has resulted in crowding at many schools while schools in other areas are underutilized.
Families are encouraged to remain informed and engaged throughout the process and there will be multiple opportunities for you to participate. As Superintendent Dr. Michael Martirano said earlier this week, a successful outcome for this process depends directly on the level of respect, empathy and careful listening that we as adults model for our children. We must remember that they will follow our lead in responding positively to the challenges and changes that are inevitable throughout life. I ask our community to practice civility during what can be an emotional process.
Please be sure to visit the boundary review page on the HCPSS website for more information, resources, a timeline, and ways to participate. Additionally, HCPSS staff would like your questions related specifically to the way the boundary review process is being conducted and communication and engagement efforts.
