School closure and delay procedures

Winter weather is on the way! School closure and delay procedures

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:

- Regional Media release

- Telephone automated message

- Web posting

- Staff e-mail

- E-news message (sign up on the district web site: www.wwps.org)

- Twitter message

- Facebook page message

- Orange signs posted in front of schools
