WEATHER UPDATE #3: We hope all of our HCPS families, staff, and their loved ones are safe. Our schools will remain closed through Friday due to #HurricaneHelene.

Neighboring counties all have a millage, creating recruitment challenges. Hillsborough stands as the only top 6 district in the state without a millage. Want to learn more about the impact of the millage? Join us at Riverview High, 5:30 - 6:30PM tonight. hillsboroughschools.org/millage

Six comfort stations will open across Hillsborough County and City of Tampa to help residents affected by #HurricaneHelene. 🤝 🔗 Find more info and each location, here: bit.ly/3zAVfrD

MILTON UPDATE #2: Due to #HurricaneMilton and the expected impacts on our community, all schools and district offices will be closed through Friday, Oct. 11. We will inform all families and district employees should we need to extend our closures due to the storm's effects.

Our decision to reopen schools will depend on... - Power Restoration - School Facility Condition - Number of district and school staff w/o power or with significant damage in their homes - Road Conditions Additionally, three of our schools are still active storm shelters.

POST-MILTON UPDATE #3 : Despite recovery efforts, we need at least another day before we can safely reopen schools. Schools & district offices will remain closed on Tuesday, 10/15. We will continue to work closely with TECO on restoration efforts & provide an update tomorrow.

ACTUALIZACIÓN DEL TIEMPO: A pesar de nuestros esfuerzos de recuperación, necesitamos al menos otro día antes de poder reabrir de manera segura. Aquí está la información más actualizada:
