From School Administration
This week marked our annual Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week. Thank you to our amazing PTA and community for the overwhelming outpouring of care and support you have shown for our teachers and staff. The week definitely was fun for everyone!
As I shared last week, we have some changes in our Front Office. I am pleased to share that we have a new principal's secretary. Mrs. Jennifer Aballo is now the Principal's Secretary. Also, Mrs. Dulce Boyer is moving from half-time to full-time Teacher's Secretary. We will be interviewing for a new part-time teacher's secretary in the next few weeks.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you,
Mr. Cosentino, Principal

Lunch Update
MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH
Celebrate Mental Health Month by taking a few minutes each day for yourself. Whether it’s a 5-minute meditation or walk around the block, be sure to prioritize your mental health.
DID YOU MOVE? ARE YOU MOVING?
According to HCPSS Policy 9000 - Student Residency, Eligibility, Enrollment, and Assignment, "A student attending a public school in Howard County will attend the designated school serving the school attendance area in which the parents have bona fide residence unless reassignment is granted or administrative placement occurs."
If you have moved or are moving soon, please notify us as soon as possible. Please do not wait for us to find out through other means. We are available to assist you with transitioning to your child's new school. Whether it be another HCPSS school, a private school, or a school out of the HCPSS district, we are here to help. If you are transferring to another HCPSS school, our registrars will partner to make the transition as smooth as possible.
If you have an address change, please fill out the attached fillable Address Change Form below and email it back to us with your new deed or lease. This way we can electronically verify your school district and update your new address on file. If you have any questions, contact our registrar, Jennifer Aballo: jennifer_aballo@hcpss.org
It is very important for us to have the most accurate information about your residency
