Emergency Snow Routes

INCLEMENT WEATHER

EMERGENCY SNOW ROUTES

 
In the event the Tumwater School District makes the decision to run emergency snow routes, the route information is included below. TSD sends notifications to the news media, staff and families no later than 6 a.m. if schools will be closed, classes are delayed or school bus service is altered due to weather or other conditions. Some last minute changes may be necessary if we are on snow routes depending on weather conditions.
 
For two hour late start - No AM or PM Pre School, No AM New Market Session and No Out of District Transportation. Please check for any weather-related alerts on the district website.
 
Snow Routes - Unless otherwise noted, buses run snow routes on regular schedule. If there is a delayed start to school, notifications will indicate the time delay and that buses are on snow routes.
 
During inclement weather, the district will try to keep bus routes as near to normal as possible. Please have your students to the bus stop 10 minutes prior to their regular pick up time. If we are on a two-hour delay, have your students arrive at their pickup spot two hours later than their normal time.

If your street is not listed, buses will operate NORMALLY.
