Monroe

Home – Monroe School District (wednet.edu)

After assessing road conditions this morning, we have decided that the safest option for our staff and students is to close schools today. There are many roads on our snow routes covered in ice and our drivers struggled to travel safely on these roads. In addition, we have a number of bus drivers reporting difficulty getting to work this morning and we are concerned about not having enough drivers to cover all bus routes today. We also have concerns about the safety of our walking students as most of the sidewalks have not been cleared and remain hazardous.

As a reminder, when schools are closed, there is no out-of-district transportation and no after-school activities or athletics.

Thank you for your understanding and partnership in putting the safety of our students and staff first. 

Mukilteo

SCHOOLS TWO HOURS LATE TUESDAY, JAN. 4. BUSES ON REGULAR ROUTES (mukilteoschools.org)

Mukilteo School District schools will start two hours late Tuesday, January 4, and school buses will operate on normal routes. The late opening of school also means that morning preschool classes have been canceled, zero-period classes have been canceled, morning classes at the Sno-Isle TECH Skills Center have been canceled and ECEAP classes have been canceled. There will be no out-of-district transportation.  

Mukilteo Virtual Academy, elementary and middle distance learning programs will begin on time.

We’ll continue to monitor the situation and update staff and families by 6 a.m. tomorrow. 

Northshore

Our Stories – Northshore School District (nsd.org)

Tuesday, Jan. 4: the Northshore School District will operate two hours late on snow bus routes.

All school grounds have been prepared to open school. However, District Support Services and Transportation staff have determined that side streets and sidewalks are still challenging due to snow and ice. The forecast is also calling for more precipitation overnight. A 2-hour delay will allow for more daylight and snowmelt so students who walk can see better, and student drivers can more easily navigate the roads.

• Buses start 2 hours late on snow routes.
• School starts 2 hours late with regular dismissal time
• All partial programs cancelled
• No ATI Networks, Sorenson Early Childhood Center, Head Start, Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program, preschool/pre-k programs, Dartmoor, Dolan Academy
