HCPS Device Return
Virtual students will return their devices (iPads, Chromebooks, and chargers) to Wilder Middle School, June 21st - June 24th, 7:30 AM - 6:00 PM.
Students participating in summer academy will keep their devices. Those devices will be collected at the conclusion of summer academy.
5th Grade Promotion
When: Wednesday, June 16th @ 11:00
Where: Laburnum Elementary on the parent drop off loop.
Things to know:
- We want families to decorate their vehicles to celebrate your students.
- Vehicles will drive through the parent drop off area where students will hear their name, receive a gift bag, and have an opportunity to take a quick photo at the photo booth to commemorate the moment.
- Parents of all virtual students will need to come to the school between June 1 - June 11 to pick up your child's door tag. We will send the door tags home with all in person students. You will need to tape/hang the door tag on the passenger side of your vehicle on the day of the celebration. The door tag will have your child's name and this will allow 5th grade teachers to call the correct student's name.
Transition Day
Note: You will attend the grade level that your student will be in next year. For example, if your student is a kindergartner, you will click on the link for "rising 1st graders".
