In honor of Black History Month, the HCPS Senior Staff team participated in a facilitated civil rights tour around Harford County on Monday, February 26. A journey through history, this tour was not only an opportunity to learn and reflect on the civil rights movement, but also a chance for them to celebrate the contributions and achievements of African Americans in the history of Harford County. It was both an educational and inspiring experience.

A big thank you to Vicki Jones, Talent Pathways Project Manager, and Paula Stanton, Supervisor of Equity and Cultural Proficiency, for planning and organizing this event, and to Cathy Bendis, Director of Transportation, for arranging the transportation. Their hard work and dedication made this event possible, and we are truly grateful for their efforts.

Special shout out to Ms. Kimberly Haines!

Havre de Grace High School’s SGA Diversity Committee created a Black History Month library display. Sophomore, Devin Herbert, Junior, Chase Zellman, and Sophomore, Sophia Holloway planned and decorated a display case that can be seen upon entering the library. They found books to spotlight and celebrate black excellence and came up with trivia questions that were read on the morning announcements each day in February. They gave prizes to the trivia winners to generate meaningful conversations at school. The students took the lead, planned, decorated, and executed the entire event for their school community and did an awesome job.

Special shout out to Ms. Jessica Jeffries, HDHS Media Specialist!

This month, students at Fountain Green Elementary School celebrated both Black History Month and the Lunar New Year in Art. Students created mini-research reports, created lanterns, and practiced using chopsticks to demonstrate their learning about the Lunar New Year. To celebrate Black History Month, students discussed famous African American scientists and how their inventions positively impact society. Students also shared and discussed famous African Americans depicted on their school display.

Special thanks to Ms. Luzmaria Vignola!

On Monday, February 26, 2024, a policy titled, “Display of Flags,” was presented at the Board of Education of Harford County business meeting. The meeting, including the policy presentation and Board conversation, is archived here.

Throughout the year, the Board will seek views and comments from the public, including HCPS staff, on a number of issues.

Within Social Work Month, the first week of March is designated as School Social Work Week. This week is set aside to recognize the specific work of social workers providing support to students and staff members in educational settings across the country.

Within HCPS, school social workers counsel students, connect families to resources, advocate for students, and provide valuable professional learning to staff members. They truly embody this year’s School Social Work Week theme, Pearls of Wisdom.

The impact of school social workers is best described by Terrlilyn Rivers-Cannon, Board President for the School Social Work Association of America, “In the tapestry of education, school social workers are the threads of compassion, weaving empathy, support, and understanding into the fabric of students' lives. National School Social Work Week is a canvas to celebrate their profound impact a masterpiece of care, advocacy, and transformative influence.”

If you work with or know a school social worker please take a moment next week to thank them for their support and “Pearls of Wisdom.”

El Summer Program 2024 Application

Some of our amazing students at Emmorton Elementary School have successfully named a local tributary!

A group of eight dedicated students took charge of this initiative to name an unnamed tributary flowing through Harford Glen Environmental Education Center, finally reaching Atkisson Reservoir and Winters Run. It is now called Wheel Creek!

Motivated by their passion to understand and protect local waterways and the Chesapeake Bay, our students, along with Harford Glen Environmental Education Center and Harford County Watershed Protection Group, delved into the ecological importance of the creek.

During their research, the Committee discovered the historical significance of Wheel Road, originating from the Hollingsworth Wheel Factory in the area. Following this research, the student decided on the name Wheel Creek, recognizing its economic and local importance during Harford County's early development.

To formalize the process, the Committee applied to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The application was submitted on September 8, 2023, and as of February 15, 2024, Wheel Creek has been federally recognized on United States Geological Survey stream maps!

Let's celebrate this incredible achievement and the dedication of our students in preserving Harford County's history!

Course Title: IIRP Restorative Practices for Educators

Course Description: Building and strengthening relationships and community is a critical component of school culture. Restorative practices are an essential process for creating a positive learning environment, building social capital, and resolving relational issues.

During your training session, you will learn the fundamental theory and practices for engaging with students, staff, and parents in your school setting.

Topics include the importance of being explicit about practice, how to set high expectations while being supportive, and ways to build community in your setting. We will discuss giving direct feedback, asking questions that foster accountability, and using effective methods to resolve common conflicts.

You will learn to apply the restorative practices continuum, understanding which restorative processes are best for achieving certain goals or responding to particular situations. We will focus specifically on facilitating circles, an essential process for creating a positive learning environment and school culture. Circles can be used both proactively and responsively to build social capital, sustain relationships, address social problems, and respond when harm occurs. Participants will spend time planning circles to use in their schools.

CANVAS Pre-Work Modules: All participants must complete the RA for Educators Canvas Modules before attending their scheduled training.

Location: These training sessions will be offered in person at the indicated locations or virtually via a TEAMS link sent by the course instructor.

Session Format: There is a Max 24 participants per session and 14 participants need to be registered for the course to run. Session formats are subject to change based on registration. You will be notified by email of any format changes.

Effective July 1, 2024, all employees will experience a change to their benefit deduction cycle, moving from a 20 or 24 deduction cycle to a 22 pay deduction cycle for all 10-, 11-, and 12-month employees.

Details of this Change: All employees, regardless of whether in a 10-, 11-, or 12-month position, will transition to a singular deduction cycle that will occur over 22 consecutive pays throughout the fiscal year. Annual deductions will occur from September 1 through June 30 for all employees. During this period, the healthcare deduction includes the cost of your coverage in July and August; you do not need to make additional payments during these months. Employees will see their first 2024-2025 school year deduction as part of the September 13, 2024, pay date.

• Changes for 10-month employees: You will now have your healthcare premiums for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and flexible spending spread out over 22 pays rather than 20 pays. This change will not impact pension and other deductions not listed.
• Changes for 11- and 12-month employees: You will now have your healthcare premiums for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and flexible spending spread out over 22 pays rather than 24 pays. You will no longer have a deduction for your above-listed healthcare contributions for pay received in July and August. This change will not impact pension and other deductions not listed.

Why Is This Change Being Made? All employees are currently deducted through different deduction cycles based on their status as 10-, 11-, or 12-month employees. Moving all employees to a singular deduction cycle provides a simplified understanding of which posted premium applies specifically to individuals, helping to improve communication and understanding of an employee's benefits. This change will also provide simplified administration and understanding of deductions when employees transfer positions that would cause their deduction cycle to change.

What Do I Need To Do? As an employee, you do not need to do anything for this change to occur. This change will happen automatically for all employees enrolled in a medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and/or flexible spending benefit program. However, we request that you review your current elections during the upcoming Open Enrollment period in May 2024 and complete any election changes as appropriate. Enrollment changes made during the Open Enrollment period will take effect on July 1. Deduction changes will take effect in September, and no deductions for 11- and 12-month employees will occur during July and August.

More information will be available in the upcoming months leading up to this change taking effect on July 1, 2024. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Benefits Office at benefits@hcps.org.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

This month, join CareFirst in recognizing National Colorectal Cancer Month to raise awareness for the fourth most common type of cancer in the United States. Overall, the most effective way to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer is to get routine screenings beginning at age 45.
