SCHOOLS CLOSED ON FRIDAY
Hamilton County Schools will be closed on Friday due to concerns of ice on roads in the morning, especially in the higher elevations. The National Weather Service forecast calls for temperatures to remain below freezing until the middle of the day tomorrow. After additional discussions with emergency personnel and the concern of wet roads freezing overnight, it has been decided to close schools tomorrow out of an abundance of caution and the concern for student safety.
School-aged childcare locations will be open tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Barger Academy, Battle Elementary, Daisy Elementary, East Brainerd Elementary, East Ridge Elementary, Middle Valley Elementary, Harrison Elementary, and Red Bank Elementary.
It’s important for our students to stay engaged in learning every day, even on inclement weather days. The school district has created a range of activities for students to complete while out of school. We hope these learning activities will help parents engage children in learning activities while out of school. The academic assignments are available on the district website at www.hcde.org/homestudy.
