"Good evening. This is a message for all parents and guardians with students currently enrolled in HCPS elementary schools. The HCPS Return to In-Person Learning plan has been updated at this time. Beginning March 1, 2021, elementary students will have the opportunity to return to the school buildings 2 days per week. We are planning to increase that number to 4 days per week as early as April if conditions allow. You will receive additional information from your principal about the updated plan; we know some of you may have already communicated your intent to return to in-person learning, or to continue virtual learning, based on the plan to return one day per week. Please give your principal an opportunity to reach out with additional information about how they will continue or begin to collect your intent to return, whether it remains the same or will need to be updated. Please allow your principal an opportunity to reach out and support their preparation efforts by responding to their communications as soon as possible. Thank you."
