To help parents understand the laptop initiative, every parent of a student new to HCPS Middle Schools is required to complete parent technology orientation.  Parents who have completed training for an older sibling or parents who are HCPS teachers are not required to attend training but are encouraged to attend.

If you are in need of training, you may attend in-person training sessions hosted at any HCPS middle school or you may complete parent training online by using the links below. Online training is updated each fall and available to parents of students new to HCPS schools each school year. Live sessions in HCPS middle schools are held during the early fall only.
