Seattle Public Schools Closure Information
Find out if Seattle Public Schools are closed or operating on a modified schedule here:
Snow or Bad Weather Days
In case of bad weather before the school day (7:30am or earlier), check the school report link above or listen to major radio stations such as KIRO (710 AM) or KUOW (94.9 FM) for the status of school openings or closures. In the unlikely event that we have to close school early, we will contact a parent or guardian before we allow a student on the buses or to leave campus. Please keep your emergency contact information current. If your phone number at work changes, call the school office and have your info sheet updated.
Because we are trying to call all parents/guardians, the phone lines at school will be busy. If you do come to school under these circumstances to take your child, you must come up to the office and check them out with the staff.
Emergency Preparedness Plan
We regularly conduct fire and earthquake drills. In order to prepare for emergencies such as snowstorms or earthquakes, TOPS staff and volunteers have developed an awareness program and contingency plans for TOPS. With the help of the community, the Safety Committee has assembled "teacher packs" with food supplies, first-aid items, and such emergency equipment as fire extinguishers, flashlights and blankets, for each classroom. These packs will need to be replenished periodically. K-5 students have individual emergency food and comfort packs provided by their parents annually.
