Home Language: this is the language that your family uses at home to communicate with one another
Dominant Language: this is the language that the student is most comfortable speaking or prefers when able to speak multiple languages. If a family is confused about this (b/c child speaks more than one language) ask, “which is your child’s strongest language?"
Native Language: this is the language that the student learned first and may be the only language the student communicates in.
If you have a child currently attending an HCPSS PreK program, there is no need to re-register your student for Kindergarten. Also, if your child is a current HCPSS student at DOES or any other HCPSS school, please DO NOT re-register your student.
If you have a multi-family living arrangement, an appointment with our PPW, Monique Finch is required. Email monique_finch@hcpss.org for more information.

Questions can also be emailed to rachel_tulis@hcpss.org. Students are excluded from starting school if their immunization form is not up to date.
