Winter Weather - Stay Informed

Winter Weather - Stay Informed

Winter weather--including windstorms--may force a change in the normal school schedule, even for students who attend virtual programs. We want you to be prepared and know where to get information. 

Type of Schedule Changes

In the event of winter weather conditions, windstorms, power outages, or unsafe road conditions caused by fallen trees, snow, or ice, we may need to cancel school, including virtual learning, to ensure that all Highline students are on the same make-up schedule.

If conditions allow buses to operate safely, we may still implement a two-hour late start, with either regular or alternate bus stops depending on the severity of the weather.

If a two-hour delay occurs on an early release day, school will be canceled for the entire day.

How to Prepare

Here are three things you can do to be prepare for winter weather: 

  1. Review a summary of our schedule changes on our website and understand the impacts they have on your student and family. 
  2. Ensure your contact information is up-to-date at your child’s school. Contact your school office to make updates. 
  3. Download the ParentSquare mobile app, activate your account and set your notifications preferences so you will receive notifications as soon as they are sent. 

How We Communicate

In the event of snow or similar events, we may change the school schedule for student and staff safety. Here is how we will communicate school schedule changes:

  • Automated phone calls, emails, text messages and mobile app notifications through ParentSquare.
  • Website Announcements: Be sure to bookmark the district's website, highlineschools.org.
  • Social Media Posts: Follow us on Instagram and Facebook at @highlineschools.
  • Local TV/Radio Announcements.
