Winter Weather Information

January 5, 2024
With the forecasted winter weather next week, please review the following information so you know what to expect in the event that Hannibal Public Schools closes due to inclement weather.
Officials consider many things when making decisions on inclement weather days; however, the final decision is always determined by what is best for the students. Everyone's safety and well-being is top priority of our school district.
The district strives to make an early decision so families can make a plan. School families will likely hear from the district by 6:30 a.m. on School Cancellation / Hard Surface Road Only Days. Due to the volatility of the weather, this may not always be possible, but we try our best.
Thank you for supporting the Hannibal Public School District and your flexibility as we make our way through another Missouri Winter.
School Cancellation Notices
Our website – www.hannibal60.com - and mobile app will also be updated with cancellation notices as well as all of our District Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X @HPSD60 ).
The district will also notify local TV stations KHQA - channel 7, and WGEM - channel 10.
2 - Hour Delay
When a two-hour delay announcement is made, continue to listen to the radio and television for updated information. If conditions deteriorate, a decision will be made to close school for the day by 7:30 a.m.
During a delayed-start situation, morning bus transportation will be delayed two hours from normal pick-up times. This will apply to all students including vocational and special needs students. Students are required to be at their bus stop five (5) minutes early even though buses could be running slow due to weather conditions. Please be sure to dress your children appropriately.
When school is delayed, it is important that you DO NOT send or drop off your children at school prior to the delayed start time. Building staff will not be available to supervise children before that time.
