School Closures and Delays

How do I find out if school is delayed or closed?

In the event school is delayed or closed because of bad weather, local radio stations and Portland television stations will be notified as early as possible.

Click on any of the links in the box or call the District message phone line, 360-430-4858, for the most up-to-date information.

The District will also use our School Messenger Calling System to inform parents of any inclement weather related changes.

Remember, no information will be reported if the schools are operating on a regular schedule.

What is the Kindergarten schedule when school is delayed for 1 or 2 hours?

When school is delayed 1 hour, the kindergarten class will simply begin 1 hour late; and be dismissed at its normal dismissal time. On days when we start 2 hours late, kindergarteners will attend in the afternoon; beginning at 12:25 pm and ending at 3:05 pm. Parents will need to bring their kindergarteners to school, but the kindergarteners will be transported home via school bus. Any questions on the kindergarten schedule, please call Theresa Libby at 360-795-3261.

Is breakfast served on late-start days?

Breakfast is served when school starts one hour late. However, we do not serve breakfast on a 2-hour late start.

Early Release Policies

What is the Kindergarten schedule on days with a scheduled early release?

On days when we have a scheduled early release at 11:30am, all Kindergarten students will come in the morning and will stay until the 11:30am release. If you have questions, please contact the Elementary School Office at 360-795-3261 or talk to Mrs. Davis.

How Do I Order More Copies of My Student's School Photos?

Wahkiakum School District works with Bell Studios for all student photos. They come to our schools and take the photos. When the photos have been printed, Bell Studios delivers the picture packets to the District for distribution to the students. Included in this packet is a reorder form with a passcode that can be used to order additional photos at the Bell Studios online store.

Bell Studios will also provide the District with a list of the students' passcodes. PLEASE NOTE: To ensure your privacy, Bell Studios will no longer give passcodes over the phone. Any parent/guardian who loses a passcode must come to the School District Office in person. Once the District Office establishes that this person is the parent/guardian who initially received the passcode, the District will give them their passcode.

How Do I Order Copies of My Student's Grades and School Transcripts?

To obtain official transcripts, contact either the High School Office, 360-795-3271, or the Elementary / Middle School Office, 360-795-3261.
