At Walla Walla Public Schools, we make every effort to post up-to-the-minute school closure information due to inclement weather or any circumstance that would delay or cancel the normal school schedule. Decisions to delay or close school usually are made by 5:30 a.m. or earlier. This triggers the district’s comprehensive school closure/delay announcement plan. The district makes every effort to begin announcements by 6 a.m.

Announcements include:

• Media release (radio, tv, newspaper)
• Telephone automated message (staff and parents)
• Web posting (www.wwps.org)
• Staff e-mail (GroupWise staff e-mail)
• E-news message (sign up on the district web site)
• Twitter message (twitter.com/wwschools)
• Orange signs posted in front of schools
