Congratulations to our Retiring Lisbon Staff Member!
As we finish out an incredible school year, we want to pause and congratulate three of our staff members as they celebrate the end of their careers with HCPSS in retirement! Please join us in recognizing and saying farewell to Mrs. Kandis Bailey, Mrs. Suzanne Menner and Mrs. Chrissy Johnson, three beloved Lisbon Elementary staff members.
Mrs. Kandis Bailey, our awesome and amazing special education teacher, will be retiring this year. Mrs. Bailey has been a teacher for 38 years! Mrs. Bailey has dedicated the past 30 years to the Howard County Public School System and we are extremely grateful. She plans to stay in Maryland for the foreseeable future. In retirement, Mrs. Bailey plans to spend time with her family, hike, and travel.
Mrs. Suzanne Menner, our incredibly talented and caring paraeducator, will be retiring this year. Mrs. Menner has been a paraeducator for 23 years! Mrs. Menner has dedicated the past 23 years to the Howard County Public School System and we are extremely thankful for all she has done to support our students and staff. She plans to stay in Maryland for the foreseeable future. In retirement, Mrs. Menner plans to travel, garden, relax and enjoy her family.
Mrs. Chrissy Johnson, our awesome and amazing Principal's Secretary, will be retiring this year. Mrs. Johnson has been a Special Education Paraeducator as well as a Principal's Secretary for 13 years!

Gifted and Talented Education Program
Dear Families,
Many of your children participated in a Gifted and Talented Education Program Instructional Seminar with Mrs. O’Connor during this school year. To celebrate our time together and their new learning, enjoy viewing the slideshows posted at the bottom of your child’s grade-level Canvas home page.
Mr. Nath has shared projects and pictures of students hard at work in his classes via their Google Drive. They can access those by logging into hcpss.me and clicking on the GSUITE icon. The folders should be in their "Shared with Me" tab, or they can search NATH to find them.
It has been a pleasure working with your children this year! Enjoy!
Mrs. O’Connor
Summer Curriculum Resources
The elementary curriculum offices have compiled several activities and strategies for students to enhance their learning during the summer. The resource can be found on the Canvas Parent Pages and can be viewed by grade level and subject. Additional resources and suggestions can also be found on the Parent Pages. These resources include games, strategy instruction tips, field trip suggestions and much more.
Did You Move? Are You Moving?

If you have moved or are moving soon, please notify us immediately. Please do not wait for us to find out through other means. We can 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, Mrs. Linda Drews at linda_drews@hcpss.org
It is very important for us to have the most accurate information about your residency.
