E-Learning Day - Our next e-learning day is January 27th. We will follow the snow day / e-learning schedule provided below.
Winter Weather: Winter weather is upon us. As we have experienced, Indiana weather can be very unpredictable. During the winter months you may be
hearing of school delays or closings and wonder a time or two how
those decisions are made. It is rarely an easy decision and one that
involves talking with a number of agencies and local road officials.
You can get the most up-to-date information on Twitter
(@nwhsc1), Facebook, or any of the local media outlets. It is
important that parents keep their contact information updated
in Harmony to receive phone calls and emails in a timely
manner. Decisions are made as early as possible and usually
before 5:00 AM.
With our transportation routes and bus stops, it will be very
important to make sure your children have warm coats,
gloves, hats, and scarves as they walk to and from the bus
stop and while they wait for their bus. Parents should provide
safe shelter for their children while waiting for the bus when
conditions outside are bad. See below for Snow day E-Learning Schedule.
JOB BOARD - If you are looking for employees, we do have a student jobs board. Please send your employment openings to Mrs. Dickerson. dickersonch@hendricks.k12.in.us.
Call the attendance line (317-994-4000, option 1) to report absences from school, late arrivals to school, and early departures from school.
