As you may be aware, cellular services throughout our area have recently experienced disruptions.
Should a similar situation occur, our cellular-based “All Call” notification system may also be affected. In such an event, we encourage Hatchet families to monitor alternative communication outlets, including local television stations (TV5, TV12, and TV25), as well as Thumbnet (thumbnet.net) and WLEW Radio (wlew.radio), for updates from Bad Axe Public Schools regarding delays, closures, outages, and other important information.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
As always, Go Blue! 🪓💙
