HCPSS Emergency Notification Process & Sources

In emergency situations (including inclement weather), information will be shared with the community through a number of platforms.

! IMPORTANT ! It is the responsibility of each staff member to check one of the HCPSS notification sources for closing information.

The HCPSS emergency notification sources are:

HCPSS does not use schools-out.com, e-schoolnews.com or local news stations for any notifications. Only the sources listed above should be used to confirm emergency information.

Staff who have not already done so, or who are not parents in the system are strongly encouraged to sign up for HCPSS email/text notifications. Otherwise, it is the staff member’s responsibility to check one of the above notification sources for closing information. Staff reporting details during an emergency can be found online.

Please Note: 

  • Staff who are parents in the system do not need to sign up, as you already receive these notices.
  • If you believe you are signed up to receive messages and are not receiving them, please do not create a new account. Email webmaster@hcpss.org with any issues.  
  • If you are unsure if you have already opted in to text messaging, text the word “YES” to 67587.
  • Unsubscribing from any school or district email or text will unsubscribe a user from all messaging, including emergency notifications.
