We announced this yesterday but just wanted to send a reminder. There is NO SCHOOL on Friday, February 6, 2026.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
*Hardin County Schools will utilize Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) on Thursday, February 5, 2026.

Dear West Hardin Families, Welcome back! We hope you and your loved ones enjoyed a restful and joyful Christmas and winter break. As we begin this new year together, we are wishing each of you a happy, healthy, and successful 2026. As we settle back into our routines, please take a few moments to review the attached weekly newsletter. It includes important updates, upcoming events, and reminders for the weeks ahead. https://app.smore.com/n/7wgap Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We’re looking forward to a great start to the new year!

Good morning, families. This is West Hardin Middle School Principal Christin Swords. As you know, our district has implemented a new safety alert system. Staff members now wear badges that can be used to notify the school of an emergency. This morning, the button on a staff member’s badge was pressed. After a thorough investigation by our administrative team and our school resource officer, I want to assure you that everything is completely fine here at West Hardin Middle School. Because the alert was activated, our building was placed in lockdown mode while we investigated. Students were aware of the lockdown, and we know that caused some concern. We have already shared with them that all is well, and we want to make sure you have that same reassurance. We are extremely proud of our students and how quickly and calmly they responded. Many of them showed great leadership during the situation, and we are grateful for the way they followed directions and supported one another. We also received phone calls from families during the lockdown. In moments like that, our top priority is ensuring the safety of every student and staff member, so we apologize if your call was not answered right away. Please know that we will always communicate with you as soon as we are able once we have accurate information to share. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. We hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and a fantastic winter break.

WHMS Families, This email contains our family newsletter—the last one before winter break. Please take a moment to review the updates and important reminders. We hope you stay warm, enjoy a restful break, and spend quality time with those you love. We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed in the new year. https://app.smore.com/n/76hbw
