We know there is water on some roads throughout the county following the recent weather. At this time, Hancock County School District still plans to have school on Tuesday, May 26, at normal scheduled times.

However, if buses are unable to safely travel down your road or families are unable to safely leave their homes, student absences will be excused.

We are continuing to monitor conditions closely and will share any updates through ParentSquare and social media if needed. Please stay safe!
