Parents of Bus 20: Bus 20 broke down this morning. This bus will be running 10-15 minutes behind this morning. We apologize for any inconvenience.
2/14/25: Kelso schools will be closed on Friday, February 14, 2025, due to inclement weather. There will be no classes or after-school activities.
Road conditions are challenging around Kelso especially on less traveled roads and in the upper elevations. We will have a 2-hour late start for Friday morning to provide additional time for road crews to clear streets needed for buses. There will be no AM Preschool.
The additional time will let us assess road conditions and make a determination that keeps students safe. Families may want to plan for child care in the event that we are not able to open safely.
We will share an update tomorrow morning by 7:30 am.
Thank you to all the road crews working to clear roads and keep everyone safe.
