WTA Bus Passes 2020
Unfortunately this year we were only allocated half of free WTA bus passes compared to last year.
Since we will only have a few passes to give out each day, they will only be given for those in urgent need. For example:
- A student's car breaks down and he/she needs to get home
- Normal transportation home fell through
- Need to leave school for an emergency and is the only way home
If you know your child needs a monthly bus pass, they can be purchased at the ASB office for $15.
If your child is staying after school at the Learning Center, they will be given a bus pass if they request one.
A big thank you to WTA for their continued support of Sehome High School students and programs!
Snow/Inclement Weather Information
Dear Families,
With the change of seasons, it’s time to plan ahead for winter weather and how it may affect our schools.
This message will help you:
- update your contact information,
- find information on weather communications, and
- find your snow bus route if your child rides the bus.
Depending on conditions (which could include snow, flooding, power outages, etc.), school could:
- close for the day,
- open two hours late with regular bus routes or snow bus routes,
- open on time with snow bus routes.
Please familiarize yourself with our weather procedures here.
