INCLEMENT WEATHER INFORMATION
It’s winter driving season once again and with our district as
large as it is we need your help in getting nearly 1200 students and
staff here safely each and every morning. When snow and ice hit the
District, we work with Mid-Columbia Bus Co. and other area schools to
determine If roads are safe to travel. As with anything
weather-related, our call is only a best “educated guess” and
conditions at 4:30 or 5:30 a.m. might be much different than at 6:30 or
7:30 when buses and students are hitting the roads.
As always, we will err on the side of safety and utilize snow routes
when conditions in the hills make driving questionable. As always, we
will use late starts when we feel frozen roads create a hazard for our
students and employees and as always, because Mother Nature is fickle
and inconsistent, not everyone will see the wisdom of our decisions.
You as parents have the “last call” on any weather-related day. If you
feel the conditions are not safe for your child to make it to school
and back then please keep your child safe at home. The school will
excuse weather-related absences.
One last note: When we have a change in busing routes, or we have
determined we need a late start to the school day, we use Flash Alert
and activate our All-Call system. You can sign up for Flash Alert by
going to www.flashalert.net and now would be a great time to call your
child’s school to make sure we have your correct contact number and
email address. In addition to personal notification via text and
email, school changes due to inclement weather are broadcast by
FlashAlert to major television and radio stations.
All technology has a downside and since ours is dependent on having
power there is always a chance we won’t be able to contact you. If you
look outside, and see Nature has given us a pile of ice or snow and you
haven’t heard from us, or Flash Alert, call your child’s school or the
District Office at 503-852-6980. If the power is not on then our phones
don’t work and school is probably cancelled for the day.
Good luck this winter and think warm thoughts!
Steve Chiovaro
