Excessive snow, ice, power outages and flooding can alter school schedules and affect bus transportation routes. As the Valley heads into winter months, the following resources will provide information about weather-related school schedule changes:

 • SVSD district Web site: www.svsd410.org

• Recorded emergency hotline: (425) 831-8494

• Subscribe to receive e-mail messages, and view all Valley school information at www.schoolreport.org

• Local radio and TV stations

Schedule change decisions are typically posted between 5 and 8:30 a.m.

If an emergency occurs during the school day, the district may send out a recorded message about the emergency to parents or guardians who have provided their schools with current cellular and home phone numbers. This call-out capability will only be used in the case of an unusual emergency, not for early morning weather delays. Assuming phone service is not affected by the situation, this call-out capability will supplement updates posted to the district Web site. The district asks parents to ensure that schools have their updated contact information.
