For snow closure or a school delay please check the news on TV channel KING5 - Seattle news. If we need to close the school or announce a school delay KING5 will announce our name in their list.  You may also visit their web at: http://www.KING5.com
Be advised that we will follow the lead of Seattle Public Schools.  If Seattle Public Schools are closed we will also be closed.
