New Process for Circulars

Audiences

Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) circulars are to share information when that information is needed by staff systemwide and is not specific to a particular school/location or position/job class. All HCPSS staff are responsible for adhering to the guidelines and procedures outlined in the circulars.

To ensure accuracy and consistency, and to better align with current system procedures, HCPSS has a new process for its circulars.

Circulars will be released once a year on July 1, and subsequently as needed throughout the year. Circulars have been removed from the Staff Hub and are available in Canvas (staff login required). Circulars can be accessed from the Staff Hub anytime under the Services dropdown menu.

All currently approved circulars have been uploaded and additional circulars will be added as applicable. When a new circular is added, staff will be notified via Staff Hub post and email.

Staff may reference Circular #4001 – Procedures for Developing Circulars for details on when to communicate through a circular, and the steps for creation and communication.
