Laburnum Community Connection
Family Edition - November 15, 2020
Thank you to everyone who submitted responses through PowerSchool or other methods to the HCPS Student Intent Survey. This information will allow us to continue to provide quality instruction to both virtual and in person learners. The survey is now closed and no changes can be made.
If you selected in person instruction for your student(s), Pre-K - 2 students will return on November 30th. Third through fifth grade students will return on November 7th. If you did not complete the survey, your child will remain a virtual learner.
If your child has been assigned a new teacher, we will be communicating that information to you and your child's new teacher will follow up with a phone call.
As always, if you have any questions do not hesitate to call the school.
#TogetherWeRISE.
