Stanwood-Camano School District this to its Facebook page on January 30, 2025 10:00 am.

With wintry weather possible in the coming days, we want to take a moment to remind our families and community how decisions are made as to whether we delay or cancel school:

— Safety first! We consider the safety of our children on buses, our student drivers, families driving and walking to school, and the safety of our staff, including our bus drivers.
— We monitor weather patterns using multiple methods 24/7.
— When there is a concern about school starting on time, our staff drives the roads throughout the district as early as 3 a.m. We take photos, check road conditions, monitor traffic, and look for hazards to determine if conditions are improving, worsening, or staying the same.

We strive to decide about the school day by 5 a.m. Once the decision is made, we begin communicating with families and staff via phone, text, email, website, our new app, news media, and more.
