01/21 – Winter Weather Update

As forecasts indicate the possibility of extended periods of sub‑freezing temperatures combined with Gulf moisture this weekend, we want our 3,700 employees, 28,000 students and their families, and the Hall County community to know that we are preparing for every potential outcome. No operational decisions will be made until a weather event actually occurs, but we are taking proactive steps, including:

• Coordinating closely with state and local officials for the most current information
• Draining water systems in auxiliary buildings to prevent frozen or damaged plumbing
• Working with local contractors to stage snow‑ and ice‑removal equipment and materials throughout the county
• Communicating with principals and instructional staff to ensure readiness for digital at‑home learning should road conditions require school closures

If power outages occur, all school operations will be cancelled, and there will be no digital learning opportunities.

For the latest updates, please monitor our website atwww.hallco.org and follow our official HCSD social media accounts.

Thank you to our team members for all you do and thank you to our community for trusting us with your boys and girls.
