If you have a child ready to enroll in school for the 2020-2021 school year, click the link below to begin the enrollment process. If you already have a Skyward account, you can enroll the new student using your current Family Access account by clicking the *NEW* Student Enrollment tab. If your child is currently enrolled in HCS in grades K-12, you do not need to complete this process.
Attendance
Attendance, Homebound, Home School, and Migrant
Your child's attendance plays a crucial role in his/her success! Studies show that if your child misses more than 10% of the school year, or about 17 days, he/she is less likely to do well in school. Missing only 2 days a month can put your child at risk of being chronically absent and in danger of getting behind academically.
Skyward Family Access is a great resource to monitor your child's attendance, grades, and discipline! Parents, please see the link on the left to sign up for an account. There is also a free Skyward app available in the App Store for both iPhones and Android phones.
Documents and forms for homebound, independent home school, out of zone and non-resident applications, and many others are accessible by clicking the "Documents" links below.
