A Message from the Department of Communications and Community Relations

Dear families,

As we head into the winter weather season, it's time for our annual reminder about inclement weather protocols.

Depending on conditions (which could include snow, flooding, power outages, etc.), school could:

• close for the day,
• open two hours late with regular bus routes or snow bus routes,
• open on time with snow bus routes.

Please familiarize yourself with our weather procedures here, and please plan to check ParentSquare for updates. If our school or bus schedule changes, we will update bellinghamschools.org, social media (Facebook and Instagram), local media and our main district line 360-676-6400.

What is a snow bus route and how can I find it?

If your child rides the bus to school, please check the snow routes FAQ to find the snow bus stop location and time for your address. Please check your snow route information as it may have changed from previous years, because we continually update routes to make them as accessible as possible for students and families.

If your child rides specialized transportation, you will receive a separate direct message with your snow route stop and time.
