Also, the school system will continue to offer mobile technology hubs at four high schools during the summer, though the days and hours or operation are being reduced as of June 15. The hubs help HCPS students and families with laptop repairs and internet access. They will operate Monday, Wednesday and Friday rom 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 throughout the summer at these locations:

• Deep Run High School, 4801 Twin Hickory Road, Glen Allen, Va., 23059
• Douglas Freeman High School, 8701 Three Chopt Road, Henrico, Va., 23229

• Highland Springs High School, 15 S. Oak Ave., Highland Springs, Va., 23075

The HCPS Hotline, designed to help families get the information they need during the school division’s closure for to combat the spread of coronavirus, also is moving to a summer schedule.
