TSES-Directions to Update/Complete Family File

Wed, 08/17/2022 - 1:03pm

Please update your child's Family File information in HCPSS Connect! Family File provides emergency contact and other important information for students within the Howard County Public School System. Completing Family File also ensures you are receiving importation information and updates for HCPSS and Talbott Springs Elementary.  This information must be updated EACH school year for EACH child.

A video tutorial that explains the Family File process and written Family File directions can be found below:

Please note, updating your Family File is the only way families will be able to view teacher assignments for the upcoming school year.  These class lists will be available on August 24, 2022.  In addition, our school needs this critical information prior to the first day of school in the event that there is an emergency.

If you have not completed your Family File for the current school year, please complete the following as soon as possible:

Once logged in, parents/guardians will be asked to provide or update the following information:

  • Student information
  • Parent/guardian contact
  • Emergency contacts
  • Medical information
  • Arrival/dismissal procedures
  • Media release (photo approval)
  • Data confidentiality
  • PTA directory
