🚨 School Closure Alert 🚨 Due to adverse road conditions, all Sedro-Woolley School District schools are closed today, February 6, 2025. This includes the cancellation of all field trips, after-school activities, and meetings scheduled for the day. 🚨 Road Conditions 🚨 Our transportation crews have been out early this morning evaluating roads across our 395-square-mile district, and many of our routes remain unsafe for travel. While roads in some neighborhoods may seem passable, that’s not the case everywhere in our district. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. Thank you to our crews for braving the conditions to assess the roads, and to our community for your patience and support! ❄️ Stay Safe & Help Keep Walkways Clear ❄️ We encourage families to stay safe and warm. If you live within a mile of our schools, please consider clearing sidewalks to help ensure a safe path for students walking to school tomorrow. With temperatures staying low, the snow won’t be melting on its own—your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you for your support, and stay safe! 💙❄️🚍
