The Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) utilizes the Family File for parents/guardians to submit emergency information. Family File information includes student information, contacts, medical, arrival and dismissals, photo approval and more.
This update can be done on HCPSS Connect (Direct link to Family Connection). Parents/guardians usernames are the email address they used when their child enrolled in HCPSS.
HCPSS utilizes Family File for parents/guardians to complete emergency information.

- Medical Information
- Arrival/Dismissal Procedures
- Photo Approval
- Data Confidentiality
