EMERGENCY PROCEDURES & SCHOOL CLOSING

Practice Drills
Fire, security, and tornado drills are held on a regular basis throughout the school year. Instructions and
directions for fire and tornado drills are posted in each room of the building. Students should be aware
that setting off false fire alarms or tampering with extinguishers is considered a serious offense.

School Cancellations

The Hudson City School District uses a wide variety of resources to announce school closings due to
inclement weather. In addition to the district’s telephone messaging system, closing information is also
posted on the web site at www.hudson.k12.oh.us.

In addition to the District announcements, Hudson Schools also use TV, Cancellation Web sites and
Radio stations to announce school closings.

A 2-hour delayed start for schools may be used when appropriate. The decision will be made based on the
extended forecast for the day and police/city road advisories. By allowing snow crews extra time for
clearing roads, the District may decide to hold a shortened school day.

HMS Snow Days Policy: If there is a snow day (or delayed start) on: Monday, Tuesday or Friday, we will
follow or have followed our regular schedule for the week. Wednesday, there will be NO block days that
week in 8th grade. Thursday, Friday will be a block day in 8th grade. When school is closed, ALL events
that take place at the school are also cancelled.
