Due to the inclement weather, Unified School District 440 will be closed on Tuesday January 16th.
Even with the use of additives, the district had challenges operating part of its bus fleet on Friday due to the frigid temperatures. We know that the temperatures tomorrow are going to be colder and the fleet has been sitting all weekend in extremely low temperatures. Out of concern for the ability to operate our busses as well as the safety of both our bus riders and those who have to walk to school, we have made the determination that we will not be in session.
We understand that this winter has already presented a number of days off from school, which in return poses challenges for many of our parents to find safe supervision for their students. We hope that providing this information earlier will allow those parents additional time to make the appropriate arrangements.
We also wanted to inform you that we have a number of days built in for inclement weather. We often get the question, will our snow and inclement weather days impact the calendar or require us to make up days? At this point we do not have concerns and if that were to change we would make sure that we communicate with families well in advance.
Please stay safe and warm. We are looking forward to the warmer days ahead!
With dangerously cold temperatures predicted on Monday and Tuesday, we will be adjusting the Rupp Tournament schedule. We will play all games on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Game times and other important information will be communicated early in the week once we have officials and other details finalized.
Due to forecasted cold temperatures tomorrow morning, the HHS Invitational Wrestling Tournament format has been modified. ALL matches will be wrestled today starting at 4 pm. We will roll through the tournament with little to no breaks. We anticipate the tournament to take roughly 8 hours.
Halstead High School Early Release Reminder
Halstead High School will be releasing students at 3:00pm due to hosting the Halstead Wrestling Invitational. In an attempt to clear the parking lot for participating teams/spectators, all students who walk or drive themselves to school will be released for the day at that time. Students who are car/bus riders can remain at school and will report to their advisory teacher. We appreciate your cooperation!
Respectfully,
HHS Administration
