Good Morning,
Lyle schools will run on time with Elephant and Giraffe buses on snow routes. The Dallesport buses will be combined all week for the afternoon runs. Please expect delays to Dallesport and Hgh Prairie for the afternoon drop offs.
We look forward to seeing everyone!
Good Morning,
Today, 01/22/2024, Lyle Schools will be closed due to weather.
Have a great snow day and stay safe.
Good Evening Everyone! We hope you all have come through this last week or so of winter weather fairly unscathed even if you have been stuck in the house for days! Warmer weather is moving in but we have a bit to go yet.
Tomorrow, Monday January 22nd, we will begin with a 2 hour delay. We are under an ice advisory and it all depends on how much refreezes over night and how fast it melts tomorrow morning. There is the potential to close school altogether but that will all depend on the conditions tomorrow morning. All buses will be on AM/PM snow routes, the Dallesport bus will be combined all week going home, and the Elephant bus will be taking the Murdock kids home. Please expect delays for all Dallesport and High Prairie buses in the afternoon as well. We hope to see our kiddos tomorrow but we will always make sure it is safe for everyone.
Have a good evening!
Good Afternoon! This may come as a surprise to some of you, but it has been SNOWING and icing all last night and today. We are going to do away with the suspense and go ahead let you all know that we will close out the week with a perfect record and close school on Friday, January 19th. We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday. Please be safe as you dig out from snow-ma-geddon 2024 and have a good weekend.
Good Evening Everyone,
We have all been watching the weather unfold and anxiously awaiting the status for school tomorrow. Well without further ado, the status for school tomorrow will be......
Closed
The conditions forecasted do not lead us to believe that opening tomorrow can be done safely.
Please take care and have a good evening and snow day tomorrow.
UPDATE 7:10 PM - Due to deteriorating weather conditions and forecasted snow and ice, school will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, 1/17/2024. Have a great snow day and stay safe!
Tomorrow, Wednesday, 1/17/2024, we will be adding another hour to our 1 hour Wednesday late start for a total of 2 hours late start. School will start at 10:30. All buses will be on AM/PM snow routes. Please stay tuned to local news and social media for weather updates, and should anything change, we will let you know as soon as possible.
Good afternoon,
Mother Nature isn't messing around with the extreme cold that has hit the gorge. Out of an abundance of caution, we are going to begin tomorrow with a 2 hour late start. The Elephant and Giraffe buses will be on snow routes. The forecast is calling for another storm but the timing of that storm is uncertain at this time. Please be prepared for a possible early dismissal as well as the potential to completely cancel school. At anytime you do not feel safe sending your child to school, we will excuse those absences. Just call the office or send a note. We also understand that extreme conditions like this can create additional challenges for families. If you are struggling and need help, please feel free to reach out as there may be resources to help. Stay tuned to social media, local tv and radio stations for updates to the school day.
Families, Friends, and Fellow Gorge Dwellers!
As most of us are well aware of, the gorge weather is doing it’s thing and completely not cooperating with forecasters. With the unpredictability regarding the weather and the forecast for tomorrow and into next week being as clear as mud, we want to make you aware of some potential scenarios regarding the opening status of school.
1. Snow Routes - Buses often have stops that are not plowed or maintained for inclement weather. If this is the case with the stop your child uses, you will have an alternative pick up/drop off spot that is safe. Most of the time, snow routes are for our upper elevation stops such as High Prairie and Appleton all though there are a couple of Lion bus stops that have snow route stops as well.
2. Two-hour delay - The 2-hour Delay gives extra time for the roads to thaw, snow plows to get to the roads, and for transportation and administration to determine if the conditions are safe to come to school in.
3. Early Release - In the very rare instance that conditions are fine in the morning, but deteriorate so much that we do not feel that waiting until the end of the day would allow students to get home safely, we will close school early. This would only be considered in the most extreme situations and would not be an option if we called a 2-hour delay in the morning. We understand the imposition that this would cause and the decision to close early would be a last resort.
4. School Closure - If conditions are not going to improve or are unsafe for driving during the day, we will close school. We plan for 2 snow days per year and additional days usually need to be made up after the end of the school year. If school is closed, all extracurricular activities are cancelled as well.
Please remember that our ultimate goal during inclement weather is to ensure students and staff can get to school safely, be at school safely, and get home from school safely.
We hope this information helps you prepare for the possibilities for the unpredictable gorge weather.
Today, January 11th, all buses will be on snow routes for the morning and afternoon runs.
Good morning! Today, Wednesday, 1/10/2024, we will be adding another hour to our 1 hour Wednesday late start for a total of 2 hours late start. All buses will be on snow routes. Please stay tuned to local news and social media for weather updates, and should anything change, we will let you know as soon as possible.
