School Report Information

 

We are in that time of year when the chances of poor road conditions due to flooding, high water, snow, ice and thawing increase every day.  If these conditions are present, the Sedro-Woolley School District will have several levels of operation from which to choose.  The following levels of operation are part of the Emergency Communications System, which our district will utilize if deemed necessary to ensure safety for the students we transport.

 

The district will select the appropriate message(s) from below and announce these on public radio and television stations listed at the end of this notice.  No announcement means normal operations.  Announcements are for one (1) day only and are generally made by 5:30 a.m.

 

• Schools Closed:  All schools will be closed for one day only.  All field trips, after school activities, etc., will be canceled for the day.
• Schools Open, Limited Bus Transportation:  This means that buses will not operate in the following areas when the limited schedule is announced.  All students will be picked up and dropped off at the same location regardless of changes in weather.
