Promoting Proper Behavior on School Buses

As we begin the school year, HCS is asking families for their

support in reinforcing expectations for appropriate student behavior on school buses.

 

School buses are an extension of the school environment, and students are expected to follow the same standards of conduct while riding the bus as they do during the school day.

 

We encourage parents and guardians to speak with their students about the importance of following bus rules, listening to the driver, remaining appropriately seated, treating others with respect, and avoiding behavior that may disrupt the bus.

 

Students who engage in inappropriate or disruptive behavior on school buses are subject to disciplinary consequences in accordance with the HCS Student Code of Conduct, which may include the loss of bus-riding privileges.

 

Thank you for partnering with us to help ensure our school buses remain safe and orderly environments for all students.

Counselors recommend that 12th grade students take the September or October ACT if they are still working to increase their score. 
 
Students who qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch can use up to 2 fee waivers for the ACT. Fee waivers can be obtained from 12th grade counselor when school begins. 
Attention Seniors and Senior Families!
These are the steps of how Seniors should request all transcripts for the colleges they are applying to. This includes traditional applications through individual universities, Common App, Match, Coalition, and Common Black App.
 

Transcript Requests - 

Open for requests starting August 1st

All transcript requests for colleges will be made through Scoir AFTER August 1st See infographic above for detailed instructions. Students will be able to access Scoir on their school-issued devices when school begins, and they will be instructed on how to make the transcript requests.

 

College Applications for College Term - Fall 2027 

Open on August 1, 2026

 

Step 1: Complete Application

Step 2: Request Transcript

Step 3: Send ACT Scores through myact.org (if needed)

 

Please DO NOT request a transcript until AFTER you have applied to the college. If this is done in the wrong order, colleges will not have an application to match with your transcript and will discard it.

Our nurses do an incredible job caring for students each day, from unexpected illnesses and injuries to managing medications and chronic health needs. They are a vital part of what keeps our school running smoothly, and we are so grateful for all they do!
 
As we prepare for the new school year, we also need our Panthers and their families to help us keep everyone healthy. Please remember:
  • If your student requires medication during the school day, make plans to drop it off with the proper paperwork before school starts (see the info on how below).
  • If your student is sick, please keep them home until they’re feeling better.
  • Encourage students to come to school hydrated, well-rested, and ready to learn.
  • And don’t forget to pack those reusable water bottles! It gets hot outside! 
When families, students, and our school work together, everyone benefits. Thank you for helping us create a healthy, safe, and successful school year for all our Panthers!
