The County Commissioners have just moved Steuben County to orange travel status. HCS will be closed for Wednesday.
Hamilton Community Schools will start on a 2 hour delay tomorrow. We may cancel again since the roads are drifted and currently unsafe. Keep our fingers crossed that the counties can open the roads in the morning.
Hamilton Community Schools will be closed for Tuesday due to drifting on the roads.
Hamilton Community Schools will be on a 3 Hour delay for Tuesday. This means that school will dismiss 1 hour later tomorrow. We are hoping that this will give time to clear drifted roads and will also allow the wind chill advisory to expire at 10 am. I am sure all of you as well as our staff wants to get back into school. But safety comes 1st. Finally, if we decide to close, that announcement will come in the morning which will mean the back roads are not safe to travel
Hamilton Community schools will be closed tomorrow, Monday, due to the snow.
Due to the forecast of dangerous wind chills of -15 to -20 for all day Friday, Hamilton Community Schools will be closed tomorrow. Please stay safe. No afterschool activities or practices will be allowed.
HCS is closing due to the roads continuing to deteriorate. The wind is causing major problems. The bus riders will return back home on their buses. I apologize for this late call. If your students are at school, please make arrangements to pick them back up.
HCS will have school today after the 2 hour delay ends.
