Thursday, August 14 – 1st day of 2025-2026 School Year
(Dismissal: 1:00 @ HCE & 1:15 @ HCHS)
Monday, August 25 – 25-26 Preschool Begins
If your student’s after school plans change, please contact the office directly with a phone call or by sending a note TO THE OFFICE with your student. For example, if a student normally rides the bus but isn’t going to that day, the office, teachers and bus drivers need to know. (Same thing for those who don’t normally ride the bus, but need to that day.) Almost 140 students board the buses after school here in Culbertson. Several get on another bus after they reach the high school. Please call the office before 2:40 with any changes. Notes are distributed daily to teachers 30 minutes before dismissal, letting them know of any changes and a list to each bus driver of who is riding their bus.
Elementary Parents, if you do not yet have access to your student’s information on Infinite Campus, please contact the office at 308-278-2131 to get set up. Not only can you view your student’s grades, view and pay your lunch account, you can also make changes to your Contact Preferences and Notification Settings.
If a decision is made to close school, start late, or release early, local news media will be notified. The information is posted on the Facebook page Hitchcock County Schools - Culbertson/ Trenton. The information is broadcast on the following radio stations: KRVN (880 AM and 93.1 FM), KICX (96.1 FM), KIOD (105.3 FM), KFNF (101.1 FM), and television stations NTV (Kearney) and KOLN/KGIN (Grand Island). If there is a late start, there will be no Preschool.
Parents should call the school at 308-278-2131
if they have not received automated calls regarding
snow days or late starts.
|
JUST A REMINDER: If you receive an “all call” from the school and press “0” at the end to confirm your receipt of the call, it will not go on to anyone else in the “household.” |
Parents: Please call the Elementary office (308-278-2131) before 9am if you have a child that will be late or absent. This is when we turn in lunch count and our State morning attendance. If you have not contacted the office by 9:am, and we are unable to reach you, the absence will be recorded as Unexcused.
Thank you!!! - Mr. Tines
