Inclement Weather Update: Feb. 20, 2025
Dear Families, Faculty, and Staff,
We hope you are warm and well. Our team has continued to carefully evaluate road and weather conditions. While the snow has stopped and melting is occurring in some areas, hazardous conditions remain on roadways for our buses, student drivers, staff, and parents, especially in the far eastern and western portions of our county (i.e., Black Creek, Old Church, Montpelier, Elmont, etc.). Several examples of these road conditions documented by our Transportation Department today can be found in
this folder. We do not foresee these conditions improving significantly in time for morning arrival as temperatures remain well below freezing.
As a result,
HCPS will be CLOSED on Friday, February 21. Students will learn remotely. Twelve-month employees are to report to work in their buildings two hours late. Teachers and other staff may work remotely.
Tomorrow will be another Remote Learning Day across the school division. We will share more detailed information soon regarding tomorrow’s Remote Learning Day. In the meantime, we encourage you to read
yesterday’s message if you have not done so already. Again, more specific information will be shared very soon.
We understand this is disruptive and sincerely appreciate your patience as we work to make the best possible decisions for our students and staff. We hope that sharing this information well in advance is helpful to you as you begin to make the necessary arrangements.
As always, we appreciate your support. Thank you.
Stay safe and warm,
Hanover County Public Schools
