Good Morning,

This is Mr. Collett from Hampshire County Schools. I apologize for the lateness of our school cancellations this morning for RMS and HHS. Our office was notified at 6:34 a.m. and has been working diligently to establish communication and timelines with the water department. I appreciate their assistance in determining our steps for today’s closure.

Teachers are expected to work their normal hours and be available for students as needed. An assignment for today will be posted online, and I ask that you please ensure your children check their Schoology accounts and/or the school website. For students at RMS, assignments will be posted on the school website and are downloadable via cell phone or home computer. I will share any new information as it becomes available.

At this time, school for tomorrow, Tuesday, October 28th, is scheduled to operate on a normal schedule.

Thank you and have a great day.

Respectfully,
Mr. Collett

Teams practiced Stop & Think Drills, which are short, scenario-based exercises that help staff pause, think through a situation, and practice how they would respond in a real emergency.
