Superintendent James Polansky issued a letter, reminding people to take precautions.

"We are carefully tracking the approach of Hurricane Sandy as it moves its way up the east coast of the country.  Should weather conditions cause disruptions to our school operations or to one or more district facilities, we will advise you of any measures the district will take via phone and e-mail message.  We will also post updates on the district website (www.hufsd.edu).  Please ensure that your mobile phones and laptop devices are fully charged in the event of a power outage.
