Snow and inclement weather information

In the event of snow or inclement weather, please listen to radio and TV stations for information about late start, delays, or closures. Information will also be posted on the web at www.seattleschools.org.

  • Please LISTEN to radio and TV for announcements about delays to the start of school, or closures. For a list of local radio and TV stations, click here.
  • If TV and radio stations do NOT mention Seattle School District, then school will operate at the usual times, and bus routes will also operate as normal.
  • You may also check current district status on the web at www.seattleschools.org

In the case of snow or inclement weather, one of the following situations is possible:

  1. If schools operate on time, then transportation will operate on time (in which case, no announcement will be made)
  2. If schools operate two hours late, then transportation will operate two-hours late using regular routes/stops
    • In this case, there will be NO door-to-door service; no Head Start; and no AM or PM half-day kindergarten (all-day Kindergarten will still operate)
  3. Schools close

Student Attire
Every attempt is made to keep buses running to time. However, delays may occur. Students should be dressed warmly, and a back-up plan prepared in case of long delays.
