Henderson County Schools will be in session on Tuesday, January 14th, with normal school hours. Please note that bus drivers will use their discretion to assess any questionable roads on their routes. Safety is our top priority, so adjustments may be made as needed. Stay safe, and we look forward to seeing our students back in class tomorrow! 😊

Schools in Henderson County will be open tomorrow. However, bus drivers will exercise discretion when navigating their routes based on road conditions. If your child’s bus is unable to reach your home, please contact the school in the morning, and your child’s absence will be excused. For parents who drive their children to school but feel the roads on their route remain unsafe for travel, please notify your child’s school in the morning, and their absence will also be excused.

Henderson County Elementary School All-Star Game will be rescheduled for Thursday, January 16th. It will be played at Beaver Elementary School starting at 6 pm Thursday evening. Players will need their school uniform shorts. All- star jerseys will be provided.

Henderson County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 13th, 2025, due to hazardous conditions on many backroads throughout the district’s bus routes. After careful evaluation of road conditions, district officials have determined that it is unsafe for school buses to operate on several rural and secondary roads. “The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority,” said Mr. Danny Beecham, Director of Henderson County Schools. “Although primary roads appear to be in good condition, many of our bus routes rely on backroads that remain challenging due to lingering snow and the threat of refreezing.” We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of our families and staff as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.

Please be advised that Henderson County Schools will be closed on Friday, January 10th. However, today, January 9th, we are open as scheduled and all after-school activities will take place as previously planned. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Stay safe!
