We have added another option for foggy mornings or inclement weather beginning tomorrow.
HCS may go to a 3 hour delay if necessary. This may give us time for the fog to lift or the roads to be cleared of snow. When this option is used, we must ADD an hour to the end of the day by state law on attendance. As a result, we will dismiss an hour LATER whenever we use the option of a 3 hour delay. This will help by not adding make-up days to the end of the year.
Activities after school will begin an hour later as well. Thank you for your understanding.
Hamilton Community Schools will have school today after the 2 hour delay ends. Please plan accordingly. Thank you.
