Delays, Closures & Inclement Conditions

Walla Walla Public Schools are operating on schedule. 

School Two-Hour Delay & School Closure Procedures

Safety First During Hazardous Winter Weather Conditions

Walla Walla Public Schools reminds everyone safety is the primary factor for delaying or canceling school due to inclement weather. 

Driving of local roads, studying weather forecasts, and communicating with surrounding school districts are components included in this thoughtful process. Decisions to delay for two hours or close school usually are made by 5:30 a.m. or earlier. This triggers the district’s comprehensive School Closure/Two-Hour Delay announcement plan. The district makes every effort to begin announcements by 6 a.m.

Announcements include:

• Media release (radio, tv, newspaper)
• ParentSquare alert message (staff and parents)
• Web posting (www.wwps.org) (remember to refresh your browser)
• Staff e-mail (Google staff e-mail)
• E-news message (sign up on the district web site)
• District Facebook page (facebook.com/wwschools)
• Twitter message (twitter.com/wwschools)
