When the Weather Outside is Frightful

In the next couple of months, we are likely to experience winter conditions. Here are some things you can do help keep you and your family safe:

Make sure your student is dressed for cold weather. Resources are available if your student needs a winter coat or warm clothing.
Wear bright and highly visible clothing to help drivers see you as days get shorter and darker.
Keep warm clothing, a blanket or sleeping bag, snacks, and water in your car in case you get stuck or cannot get home.
Review safe winter driving procedures with your family, especially if you have a young inexperienced driver: Washington State Department of Transportation and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

We will notify families of an inclement weather situation as soon as possible about the impacts of weather on the school day such as school is closed or there is a delayed start.

If there is a change to our normal operating schedule, we will communicate with families and staff as soon as possible in a variety of ways, including our website, free mobile app, social media, text messages, and more.

Update your contact information in Skyward Family Access to ensure you receive updates.

Additional Resources

We understand the holiday season can be a difficult time for some students, families, and staff members. We want to share some of the many local resources available to help anyone in need.
