Dear Enumclaw School District Community,
A Special Night in ESD
As we head into an evening filled with costumes, candy, and community, I want to wish everyone a safe and joyful Halloween! Please take care of one another, watch out for our trick-or-treaters, and enjoy the fun and excitement of the night.
For those attending the “Battle of the Bridge” football game, let’s bring our trademark energy and enthusiasm to show that Enumclaw not only has an outstanding team on the field but also a courteous, welcoming, and supportive fan base in the stands. Cheer loud, cheer proud, and represent our Hornet pride!
Thank you for making Enumclaw a school community where kindness and belonging shine through in all we do.
Go Hornets, and have a wonderful evening!

In the event of inclement weather or power outage, we may need to implement a school closure or delay when conditions make it unsafe to operate on our normal school schedules. It is always our goal NOT to extend the school year further into the summer months with “snow days,” however, student and staff safety is our top priority.
The information below explains how we make decisions regarding the delay or cancellation of school days due to weather conditions and how you can access and receive notifications about this information.
Around 3:30 AM on weather-impacted days, Superintendent Dr. Carey, Transportation Supervisor Kami Clark, Director of Facilities, Operations and Athletics Phil Engebretsen, and Director of Business Kyle Fletcher, drive district roads to assess real-time road conditions. Each of them drives a different part of our school district.
After they have traveled the routes, they gather to share the information and determine what our transportation options will allow, as far as a school day is concerned. Of the many factors that are considered, we evaluate road conditions for buses and staff/student drivers, the amount of snow or ice, outside temperatures, the weather forecast, and changing weather conditions. It is not uncommon to have delays in the early winter with little snow if the temperature is below freezing and not expected to rise much above freezing during the day. We find that road conditions for our buses are quite treacherous in these icy conditions. In late winter, the converse could be true. We could have several inches of wet snow, but the temperature is above freezing, making roads passable. We make the very best decision each time we are faced with winter weather conditions.
The key factor when deciding on whether we can have school on a regular schedule or a late start is whether our buses can travel our emergency routes. Often, this is just what we need to do in order to operate the school. There are times we need to extend the emergency routes in a few locations. When this occurs, our drivers call families.
Our goal for determining school delay or closure status is typically no later than 6:00 AM.
• http://flashalert.net: You can go to this website and sign up to have any school delay or closure alert come to your email address. You will receive this information as soon as I officially push the button on my computer!
• We will place the delay or closure announcement on our district website at www.enumclaw.wednet.edu and our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/enumclawschooldistrict. If our district is running emergency bus routes, you can find this information on our website and Facebook as well.
• Each family will receive a phone call, text and email via Thrillshare before 6:00 AM if a decision has been reached regarding a delay or school closure. Sometimes the weather conditions shift after 6:00 AM, and therefore a decision will be made at the earliest time possible.
• Radio and television stations will receive our information as well. Often they are tracking many school districts and at times have reported information different from what we have decided. Please use one of the above sources if you receive contradictory information.
