Corded Headphones for academic use

In addition to the linked school supply list, students will need to bring a pair of headphones with a cord to plug into their Chromebooks. Students are no longer permitted to use AirPods and other wireless ear buds in an effort to eliminate cell phone use and distractions. Classrooms will also have headphones for students to borrow if they do not bring their own.

HCPSS requires a new medication order form each school year, dated on or after July 1st, for all medications, including both prescription and over-the-counter medications. Over-the-counter medications must be received by the health room in new, unopened containers and be clearly labeled with the student’s name. The links to the order forms are below:

• Physician Medication Form
• EpiPen Order Care Plan

Effective the first day of school for the 2024-2025 school year, all students entering 7th grade are required by the state of Maryland to have one dose of the Tdap vaccine AND one dose of the Meningococcal vaccine (MCV4). Many students may have already received these immunizations, but the Health Room may not have the updated immunization record. Please contact your student’s healthcare provider and email an updated copy of your student’s immunizations to Cheryl Harris at cheryl_harris@hcpss.org.

View, download, print or subscribe to the HCPSS 2024-2025 calendar online. The calendar is subject to change; the online calendar reflects the most recent version. There will be no printed 2024-2025 calendars.

Updating this information provides us with the most current emergency contact information, and also ensures that you are receiving important information and updates for HCPSS and TVMS.
