NINE MILE FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT 325/179
 EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSURES ANNOUNCEMENT

Students, teachers and patrons should listen to designated radio/TV stations,
call the Nine Mile Falls School District snow/crisis line at 340-4321, or check the ESD 101 web page at www.esd101.net/psws/ during extreme weather conditions for announcements concerning emergency school closures or delayed school starting times.

The decision to close school or late start will be made jointly by the Superintendent of Schools, school bus officials, county and state snow removal officials and/or law enforcement officials.

Decisions to close schools because of inclement weather conditions will be made prior to 6:00 AM. This will allow officials time to contact radio/TV stations and be prior to the first bus leaving to pick up students.

In some cases, late starts (1 or 2 hour delay) will occur. This will allow snowplows to open roads and road sanding to take place.

Make-up days in the event of school closure will be scheduled at the end of the school year. All lost days because of school closures shall be made up. Washington Schools are required to have 180 days of teacher-student contact.

Please do not call school officials – television and radio stations will have sufficient information
on emergency school closures to answer your questions.
