Transportation
In an attempt to provide the Chehalis School District parents and students the best and most reliable information concerning school closures and inclement weather, we will post any changes on each schools web page in the upper right corner of the site. You may also visit the Chronicle's website or “FlashNews” as to the current status of the schools. They will post any alterations in our school/transportation scheduling starting no later than 6:00 a.m.
NOTE: “Winter Snow Route” adjustments apply to both the ride in to school and the ride home. We ask that you make every attempt NOT to contact the schools, transportation office, or radio stations regarding school closures.
