HCPS continues to make the safety and security of students a top priority. We are happy to announce that with the use of an automated attendance system, we can now inform parents and guardians much sooner when their child is not in school.
Attendance calls to parents and guardians will be sent at the following times: • High schools and North Harford Middle School – 9:30 a.m. • Middle schools – 10:00 a.m. • Elementary schools and the Alternative Education Program – 11:00 a.m. • Afternoon PreK – 2:00 p.m.
Please note that attendance will be submitted electronically at the start of the school day; therefore, students who arrive to school late may have already been marked absent and you may receive a call before it is corrected in the system. Additionally, parents and guardians are encouraged to verify that the contact information on file with their child’s school or in their Blackboard Connect5 Parent Portal account is up-to-date and accurate.
