HCS Hurricane Matthew Update (UPDATED: Mon, Oct. 17)

Green Sea Floyds Elementary and High will reopen for students on Tuesday, October 18. All transporation services for the Green Sea Floyds attendance area will also resume.

The District recognizes that there are still students and families in homes throughout the county who are without electricity, as well as those who live in areas where flooding makes roadways inaccessible. Parents who continue to experience hardships will be asked to provide a written statement to the school principal documenting their individual circumstances when their child is able to return to school.

Bus transportation will resume routine operations on Monday in all areas except Green Sea Floyds, which will resume on Tuesday. Transportation schedules will follow regular routes, as conditions allow. Parents are advised that bus transportation service may experience delays in both morning and afternoon routes as accommodations are made for impassible roadways. Parents of students who live in flooded areas who have questions about temporary modifications being made to bus routes are asked to contact the bus transportation office in their attendance area.

Storm-related student absences

HCS recognizes that there are families throughout the county that are still impacted, and may continue to be impacted, by the storm and flooding. If your child is unable to attend school because of continued hardships or roadway inaccessibility, please communicate this to your child’s school. When your child is able to return to school, please send a written note for the days in which he/she was absent with an explanation as to why he/she was unable to attend. Our administrators will work with families on a case-by-case basis to make sure students who are truly unable to attend do not incur unexcused absences.

Make-up days

There has been no decision regarding make-up days for the seven (7) instructional days lost due to evacuation and recovery efforts for Hurricane Mathew.

Extracurricular Activities and School Events

All information about extracurricular activities and school events will come from individual schools.
