For all of our new and returning students, please check out our Before the First Day of School Checklist to help make sure you are ready for your first day.  We can’t wait to see you on Monday, August 29th!

Before the First Day of School Checklist

Check your schedule in HCPSS/Synergy and make note of your 1st period teacher and room number.  All students will receive a full paper copy of their schedule during 1st period on Monday, August 29th.

If you are a bus rider, use the Bus Locator Tool to determine your bus stop.  Write down your bus number and keep it in an accessible location.

Turn on your HCPSS Chromebook and login. Be sure it is functioning properly. Make sure it is charged for Tuesday. (Students will not need their Chromebook on the first day of school.)

Check your hcpss.inst username and password by logging into Canvas.  Retrieve your username and reset password here.

Bookmark hcpss.me or set it as your homepage. This will make accessing Canvas, G Suite and other online digital resource fast and easy.

Review the Canvas Orientation Materials for students.

Update your Canvas settings and notification preference to ensure that you are receiving important information from your teachers.  For help, see this guide.

Adjust your bedtime to ensure that you are getting enough sleep.  Moving your bedtime gradually over a few days is usually easier than making a big change at once.  For more sleep hygiene tips, see this resource.

Pack your bag the night before!  Bring paper, something to write with.  Teachers will share supply lists for each class during the first week of school.
