Dear Enumclaw School District Community,
A Season For Giving “Thanks”
As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude and warmest wishes to each member of the Enumclaw School District community. I hope this holiday provides you with meaningful moments of connection, rest, and joy alongside the people you love.
This is a time to pause and give thanks for all that we enjoy and all that makes our district such a special place. I am grateful for our students, their perseverance, dedication, and hard work inspire us every day. I am equally thankful for our teachers, support staff, and all district employees whose unwavering commitment ensures that our schools remain safe, welcoming, and enriching environments for every learner.
We are also deeply appreciative of our parents, caregivers, volunteers, and community partners. Your support, whether through attending events, volunteering time, or partnering with our schools, strengthens the fabric of our community and enriches the experiences of our students.
As we take this time to rest and recharge, let us also hold space in our hearts for those who may be facing challenges, whether mental, emotional, or financial, during a season that can be difficult for many. A kind word, a gesture of support, or a simple act of generosity can make a meaningful difference in someone’s holiday experience.
There is so much to be grateful for, and I am thankful to each of you for the role you play in supporting our students and one another. I wish you peace, comfort, and joy throughout this Thanksgiving holiday.
Warm regards,
Shaun

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.
