School City of Hammond continues to take our students and staff's safety, security, and concerns seriously.
During the next two weeks, SCH has designated the below asynchronous e-learning days per grade level. The below applies to middle and high school only. All elementary schools will remain in-person, and there is no change to the elementary daily schedule.
Staggering student attendance at each secondary building provides counselors with the opportunity to address scheduling concerns, time for main offices to print/distribute IDs, and allows for security training at all facilities.
