 Foggy Day Bell Schedule 

Foggy Day Schedules are announced on a day-to-day basis. Parents/guardians must send a note if students are late due to fog.

It is the responsibility of the HJUHSD Transportation Department to decide whether or not to call a foggy day schedule for Hanford High, Hanford West High and Sierra Pacific High School and Earl F. Johnson High. The transportation department makes that decision based on a number of factors, including input from other local school transportation departments and observation of outlying areas. Because of the nature of our Valley fog, this can be a difficult decision to make: It is often foggy in one area while clear in another, fog can shift from one area to another quickly or can clear up just minutes after the call is made. But the key factor in making the decision to call a foggy day schedule is the safety of the students we transport. The question that the transportation department must answer is whether or not - at the time the determination is made - visibility is impaired to the extent that it may present a hazard to our students riding the buses.

Once a foggy day schedule is called, it cannot be reversed.

Help keep our students safe: Please turn on your headlights!

Emergency Message: Lockdown at Hanford High

9 a.m. Oct 30

From the Hanford Sentinel:

Although the investigation is not complete, Sever said they believe the object the teacher saw was possibly a tripod. “A [student] was carrying a tripod in the same general area that the student was believed to be seen with a rifle,” he explained. “We have found no evidence that any student was on campus with any firearm or weapon of any type.” Around 5 p.m., all students and staff had been released from the campus. Sever said it is safe for parents to send their students to school Thursday. He also said additional officers will be on campus. 

 4:20 p.m. Oct 29

UPDATE

At approximately 3:15 p.m., Hanford High School went into Secure Campus Mode following a report of a person with a possible weapon on campus. Hanford Police responded and are investigating. At this time, Hanford Police have begun a controlled release of students from the campus, one classroom at a time: Students with transportation are being escorted to their vehicles or buses. Students who are being picked up and students who walk are being released at the school Service Drive on Grangeville Boulevard. Thank you for your patience during this safety emergency.
