Reminders for Potential Weather-Related Closings
As we make our way through the winter season, please note that weather-related school closings can occur at the last minute. To be prepared, we encourage our students and staff to bring their technology home with them to ensure everyone is equipped in the event of a closure and e-learning.
You will be notified of a closure through your ParentSquare email and/or text notifications, an automated phone call from HF, postings on our social media pages (@hfhs59) and as always, directly on our website.
In the event of a closure:
- By no later than 8:30 a.m., an Asynchronous Lesson Plan will be posted in each student's Google Classroom. Students will NOT be attending class remotely during class time. Asynchronous learning follows the learning path developed by the teacher and is done without the presence of the teacher or other students.
- For the eLearning day, we will utilize the whole-school attendance process.
- An attendance link for students will be posted to the students' FR/SO/JR/SR Announcement Google Classroom.
- Students must check in and complete the attendance form prior to 9:00 a.m. Students only need to complete the attendance form one time for the entire day.
- Teachers will be available to communicate and assist with students via email from 7:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. unless the conditions of the emergency day prohibit this communication.
- If a student is experiencing difficulty connecting or navigating the system, email helpdesk@hf233.org or call 708-335-5750.
Stay safe and warm!
