Power Outages

Occasionally, one or more of our schools may experience a power outage due to extreme weather conditions. We regret any disruptions these potential emergency situations may cause. 

Below is an outline of responses that MAY be taken during a power outage:

If a school site loses power prior to the start of classes, the District MAY cancel school.  In that event, the District will notify parents that school will be cancelled for that site.

If a school site loses power after the start of classes but before lunch, staff is prepared to continue in session until the start of the school’s regularly scheduled lunch period.  In that event, students will be released at the start of lunch.

If a school site loses power after lunch, staff is prepared to continue in session until the end of the school’s regularly scheduled school day. 

PLEASE NOTE:  This is a template for responses that may be taken. Incidents will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. The District will always notify parents before any action is taken.

In the event of an early release, students who normally take public transportation should plan to remain on campus until the next available scheduled pickup.

Should power outages occur, parents can expect updated communication from the District in three different ways:

Updates can be viewed on Hart District Website - www.Hartdistrict.org

The District will send out notifications using our mass communication system

Updates can be heard on the radio via KHTS am1220 and the KHTS and Signal Websites

With this advanced notice, we encourage you to speak with your child to develop a plan for early dismissal if the school day is shortened as a result of power outages.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility.  If you have questions or concerns, please contact your school’s administration.
