We are gearing up for Friday’s cold temperatures (9° to 20°F) and would like to encourage families to be proactive as well.
If the forecasted temperatures are correct, we will have indoor recesses at the elementary schools; middle school students will remain in the cafeteria during lunches.
Please dress students in extra layers of outerwear, including jackets, hats, gloves, and extra socks, to keep them warm and comfortable during transitions between buildings or while they’re waiting for the bus.
With a lot of young drivers at State Street and Sedro-Woolley High Schools, we also want to remind families to remind their teens to prioritize safety while driving to and from school, especially in potentially icy conditions.
The district’s transportation team will also be checking road conditions before the first buses leave the bus garage at 6 a.m. If conditions warrant a two-hour late start, families will be notified via FlashAlert, Facebook, the District Website as well as School Messenger messages via email, text and voice.
Sedro-Woolley School District will be closed in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, January 15, 2024. School will resume on Tuesday, January 16.

🎨 Fourth graders at Evergreen Elementary School had a blast at today's special "Paint & Sip" event! 🖌️⛄️ The artists painted adorable snowmen masterpieces while sipping on CapriSuns. 🎨❄️ Stay tuned for photos of the completed projects!
Sixth-grade students transformed Charlie Huddleston's classroom at Evergreen Elementary School into an Egyptian wonderland, showcasing their incredible projects at the much-anticipated Egyptian Museum event today!
From pyramids to pharaohs, hieroglyphics to mummies, students delved into the rich history of ancient Egypt, bringing the past to life with creativity and, in some cases, mummified hot dogs that smelled like cinnamon.
Let's give a round of applause to these young historians for their hard work and dedication!
