Thank you to the families that reached out tonight to report concerns over a WSMS student’s social media post. Law enforcement was contacted and they made contact with the family. Kittitas County Sheriff's Office does not have concerns for our students' safety. Out of an abundance of caution, we will have an increased presence from law enforcement and administrators on campus tomorrow (Tuesday 4/11). Thank you again to parents for reaching out with your concerns.

We’ve got multiple plows running, district office staff, Administrators and even Cousin Eddy (aka Mr. Chase) out shoveling snow today in preparation for parent pick up.

Schools across the district have been receiving phone calls inquiring about the potential for early release today.  We want to reassure you that our schools will remain open until the regular dismissal time today where kids are safe and warm. We also acknowledge that some of our families may want and/or need to have students home earlier due to the inclement weather.  If you need to pick up your student(s) early today, please contact the building(s).  Elementary:  509-649-4700 Middle School: 509-649-4800 High School Attendance Office: 509-649-4944 Swiftwater Learning Center: 509-649-4993 Our buses are prepared to transport our students in this weather.  Please be patient at the bus stops as they will be driving a little slower to ensure that your student(s) arrive home safe.

All after school activities including GEAR, Outdoor School and athletics are canceled today 12/20/22 due to inclement weather.
