ORTING SCHOOL DISTRICT #344
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
Safety First!
The winter months sometimes bring weather conditions which require school schedule delays or closure.
EMERGENCY PLAN: 
Each family should have a plan covering what to do when children arrive home early due to an emergency situation. 
What is the best route home if your student cannot be delivered to the normal bus stop?  Where could they go if they needed help?
Who would care for them until you arrive?  Is there someone your student could call to allay fears?
MORNINGS:
Listen to the radio between 5:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.  If you feel the weather may create hazardous traveling conditions.
Radio stations will be announcing schedule changes by district name and number.  Please do not call the radio stations or the district office.
Jammed telephone lines only compound the emergencies.
You can also check the link on Orting School District web page: www.orting.wednet.edu, then go to school closure information @ PSECS.
