This is an important message from Haleyville City Schools. Although many roads are clear, we still have 5 bus routes that are not safe. We also have had a second water line bust at HHS today and cannot safely serve food out of our lunchroom at this time. HCS will be Virtual on January 22nd, 2024. We are working to get everything fixed and have an alternative food plan for Tuesday if needed. We know that this is not the news most parents wanted to hear, but student safety is our top priority. #OnAmission #HomeOfChampions

Haleyville City Schools will be virtual on Friday, January 19th, 2024. Most secondary roads around our area are still dangerous, and we have had a water issue at HHS which could result in icy areas surrounding the schools in the morning. We are not risking employee or student safety by trying to open schools before this safe to do so. Please have students check learning platforms, work on iReady, and check grade level/classroom social media pages. Please be safe and weather aware! #OnAmission #HomeOfChampions
