Reminder: Today, November 4, is the end of the first quarter for middle and high school students. Remind your students to start the second quarter strong. Turn in work on time, ask teachers for extra help during Cub Academic Time at Sedro-Woolley High School, or look at their class syllabus to see when they’re available before or after school. There is zero shame in asking for help if you’re struggling in a subject. Encourage your students to ask their friends who are excelling to help them understand the subjects better. This can help both students grasp concepts in a deeper way.

The National Weather Service has issued a HIGH WIND WARNING for our area, in effect from 4 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday. Forecast: • Winds: South winds 25 to 35 mph, with gusts up to 50-60 mph in some areas • Areas Affected: North Coast, San Juan County, Western Skagit County, Western Strait of Juan De Fuca, and Western Whatcom County. • Potential Impacts: Damaging winds could down trees and power lines, leading to widespread power outages. Travel may be difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. At this time, we are planning to operate schools on a regular schedule. However, we encourage families to prepare for possible disruptions, especially those living on rural routes that could be affected by downed trees. If you haven’t already, please download the My Ride K-12 app for real-time transportation updates. It provides secure access to your student’s bus schedule, stop, route, and bus number. Please ensure your children are dressed appropriately for colder classrooms in the event of a power outage. Our maintenance crews will be on standby to address any potential issues in our buildings, but please be aware that downed trees and power lines may cause road closures. We urge everyone to be safe, exercise caution, and stay informed as we navigate the upcoming weather conditions. Stay safe, and we look forward to seeing students tomorrow!
