Preparing for Winter Weather
Summary: Seattle Public Schools is actively monitoring weather forecasts and road conditions.
Winter Weather Preparation
When winter weather arrives in Seattle, SPS must determine schedule changes for the entire district. We recognize this decision may not always fit with what individual neighborhoods are experiencing. The city of Seattle has a wide variation of weather conditions because of our landscape.
确保学生在远程学习时拥有设备当西雅图预报恶劣天气时, the SPS operations team works with our schools to implement their device distribution plan to ensure all students bring home devices.
Schools receive notice in the days before winter weather hits to remind them to send home student laptops and devices with students in case we need to switch to remote learning.
冬季天气准备小贴士
- 确保你的正规买足球的App与你的学生所在学校保持一致
- Set message preferences in SchoolMessenger to receive inclement weather and emergency communications.
- 如果你的学生有交通服务，检查他们的公交路线.

- Wear bright clothing so drivers can see you in the early morning and late evening.

冬季天气学校时间表选项
If snow or ice in the Seattle area affects road conditions, our schools may have schedule changes. Student and staff safety is a priority when making decisions related to inclement weather.
Seattle Public Schools and the Seattle Education Association have created a plan to use technology and remote learning instruction so students can continue to learn from home during inclement weather/snow days.
根据天气条件，我们有两种可能的情况- 两小时后开始面对面学习 or school buildings closed with 学生在家从事远程学习.
两小时后开始面对面学习
Scenario 1: Two hours late; buses operating on snow routes. When the district is operating on snow routes (two-hour delay) the following changes apply.
- Childcare:请向您的托儿服务提供者查询上学前或放学后的托儿服务.
- Preschool:
- 全日制学前班，SPP和启智计划正在运行.
- All half-day preschool programs are closed including Head Start and Developmental Preschool.
- 学前持续强化服务(PCIS)学前教育项目已经关闭.
- Skills Center (参加技能中心课程的高中生):
- 早上的技能中心课程取消.
- 下午的技能中心课程正在进行, 但不提供小区黄色公交接送班级. After classes are dismissed, transportation back to the student’s enrolled school will be provided.
- 课后活动没有交通工具: Check with your school about athletics and after school activities that don’t require transportation.
Please check the 正规买足球的App署恶劣天气网页 有关交通服务的详情. In early December, families with students who receive transportation services (yellow bus or van) will receive a separate letter in the mail with information about the snow routes for their student’s bus route.
金县地铁也可能在下雪或冰天雪地期间运营雪道. 使用金县地铁上学的学生可以 查看地铁积雪路线信息.
学校大楼关闭，学生在家进行远程学习
Scenario 2: Students at home engaged in remote learning due to inclement weather.
Seattle Public Schools (SPS) and Seattle Education Association (SEA) worked together to create a remote instruction plan for potential snow days. We cannot predict or control the weather, but we can maximize our response to it. Technology provides a way to engage with students even when winter weather makes it unsafe to go to school buildings.
由于天气原因，远程教学的第一天, there will be a two-hour delayed start. 这个较晚的开始将确保员工和学生准备好开始学习. 如果有连续几天的恶劣天气, 接下来的几天将按照标准开始时间开始.
Stay Informed
如果天气状况需要改变行程, the SPS Communications team will share the schedule change in the following ways.
家属将在早上5点左右得到通知.m. on the morning of a weather event through phone voice messages, emails, and text messages. 最新情况也将与当地媒体分享, on social media, 还有学区和学校的网站.
SPS will notify families if there is a schedule change. Our standard practice is to assume that school buildings are open and buses are running on a regular schedule unless otherwise communicated.

西雅图交通部(SDOT)的一份说明
During a severe snowstorm, SDOT crews work 24 hours a day to clear crucial streets around the city for buses and emergency services. 我们不可能同时出现在所有地方, and it may take up to 12 hours to clear all these streets after a break in the storm.
请做一个好邻居，帮助保持西雅图这个冬天的运转! 储备除雪用品，保持人行道畅通, curb ramps, 你家附近还有排水沟, business, or job site free of leaves, snow, and ice.
