Students in HSD have now missed eight days of school due to inclement weather. Closure decisions were based on the safety of students, staff, and parents, keeping in mind that we have students who walk, bike, drive, are driven to, and take the bus to school. We have begun collaborating with our employee unions to create a
plan to recapture lost instructional time
