Our goal is to make weather related decisions the night before school whenever possible.  When that is not possible, we will try to have all weather-related decisions made no later than 5:30 a.m. on the morning of school.

Delays, early dismissals, and cancellations will be communicated to stakeholders via:

a.     School Messenger (Automated email, text message, and/or phone call)

b.     School website: www.hasd.us

c.     Social media

d.     Television stations: ABC 27; FOX 43; WGAL-TV 8; CBS 21; CW 15; WITF

e.     Radio stations: B-98.3; 100.5; Y-106.5; ESPN 92.3 FM; WITF-FM 89.5; WKOK 1070; WEGH 107.3; WQKX 94; WVLY 100.9; WQLV-FM 98.9

To stay completely informed of all delays, early dismissals, and cancellations via our school alert system, please notify the school of any updates to your phone number or email address.

 If a two (2) hour delay is announced, the bus will arrive two (2) hours later than normal.  If a three (3) hour delay is announced, the bus will arrive three (3) hours later than normal.  Students will be provided a lunch, but breakfast will not be served if either delay is announced. "Grab and Go" may be available at the HS.

 If in-person learning is not an option, an announcement will be made if we are having Remote Instruction or a traditional School Cancellation
