What Happens if School Closes in the Middle of the Day?

Read the CCSD policy below for information on an unexpected school closing:

WHAT IF SCHOOL CLOSES DURING THE DAY?
Parents should make sure that their child's teacher has on file a written explanation of what the student should do in the event that school closes during the day.
If school closes during the day all students will be sent home on their regular bus or daycare van unless other directions are on file. It is impossible for the school staff to accept phoned in directions under such circumstances.

Yellow Tags for Bus Riders
If your child is 8 years old and under, regardless of their grade, they should come home with a yellow tag on their backpack for safety reasons.  The bus driver will give you a letter with further details about the yellow tag.

Attention Car Riders

What to Wear to School?

Hendricks does not require uniforms for school, but we do have rules for how students must dress.

Are you wondering what you can or can't wear to school? Please read the Dress Code information!

Buzz-In System Now in Place

Our school has a new system for entering the building through the front doors.  With this new system, visitors need to "Buzz-In" after 8:10am.  We know everyone will have many questions about the new system, so our principal has written a letter to fill you in.

View the letter from Mr. O'Connell for more details.
