From time to time during the winter months, the weather may force a change in the normal school schedule-—even during remote and hybrid learning. We want you to be prepared and know where to get information.
Type of Schedule Changes
During our hybrid/remote model, there will be no two-hour delays since our school days are short to begin with. In the event that conditions make in-person learning not possible, we will transition all in-person classes to remote learning. If you have a power or internet outage, please refer to our expectations during power outages.
If conditions make it so that district offices are also closed and it is unsafe to be on the roads, there may be no remote learning since some staff may be unable to access teaching resources.
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: Please ensure your contact information is up-to-date at your child’s school.
- Website Announcements: Be sure to bookmark the district's website, highlineschools.org.
- Social Media Posts: Follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook at @highlineschools.
- Local TV/Radio Announcements.
