In early November, snow route information will be mailed to your home. Parents should select the safest alternative stop for their students in the event emergency snow routes are announced. If stations do not mention the Seattle School District, school bus transportation will be operating on regular routes at regular times. Major radio and TV stations will communicate one of three messages for emergency operation. These messages include:

    1.Schools open on time - buses operating on time on Snow Routes. No door to door service No Head Start. No A.M. or P.M. Kindergarten.

    2. Two hours late - buses operating on Snow Routes. No door to door service. No Head Start, No A.M. or P.M. Kindergarten.

    3. Two hours late - buses operating on Regular Routes. No door to door service. No Head Start. No A.M. or P.M. Kindergarten.

    4. Schools closed.

    Every effort will be made to operate the routes on time. When appropriate, school buses will be chained. However, ice and snow emergencies create other traffic problems that cause delays. Students should be dressed in warm clothing before they leave for the bus stop and a backup plan should be worked out with the students in the event the bus is late
