UPDATE: This is an important message from the Sedro-Woolley School District. School is closed. Staffing shortages and road conditions make it unsafe to operate school.
The Sedro-Woolley School District will be operating on a two-hour late start on Thursday, January 18, 2024. Overnight temperatures are not expected to be above freezing until after 9 a.m. which will create hazardous driving conditions for many outlying areas in our district.
Two-Hour Late Start Times:
Elementary schools — 11:25 a.m.
CMS — 9:40 a.m.
SWHS — 9:55 a.m.
SSHS — 10 a.m.

We are gearing up for Friday’s cold temperatures (9° to 20°F) and would like to encourage families to be proactive as well.
If the forecasted temperatures are correct, we will have indoor recesses at the elementary schools; middle school students will remain in the cafeteria during lunches.
Please dress students in extra layers of outerwear, including jackets, hats, gloves, and extra socks, to keep them warm and comfortable during transitions between buildings or while they’re waiting for the bus.
With a lot of young drivers at State Street and Sedro-Woolley High Schools, we also want to remind families to remind their teens to prioritize safety while driving to and from school, especially in potentially icy conditions.
The district’s transportation team will also be checking road conditions before the first buses leave the bus garage at 6 a.m. If conditions warrant a two-hour late start, families will be notified via FlashAlert, Facebook, the District Website as well as School Messenger messages via email, text and voice.
Sedro-Woolley School District will be closed in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, January 15, 2024. School will resume on Tuesday, January 16.
