Snow Day Policy
1). Saturday programs:
School will remain open for light snow and be closed for heavy snow.
For medium snow, please check our website for information.
Call 206-380-1222 if you are not sure. Please keep the call brief to
help the line remain open for other parents. Thanks!
2). Weekday English Reading, Writing, Math, Art, and Family Chinese programs:
Please contact your teacher to find out if the lesson is cancelled or
rescheduled. We will also try our best to make announcements on our school website.
3). Weekday Preschool, Kindergarten, and After-school programs:
These programs follow each area's public school district's decision. Seattle
site follows Seattle public schools' announcement. Bellevue site follows
Bellevue public schools' announcement. We close when the public schools are
closed.
Please pay close attention to TV or radio news for school districts' announcement.
Or check information at school districts' websites:
Seattle:
www.seattleschools.org
Bellevue:
www.bsd405.org
All school districts: www.schoolreport.org
You can also try the school districts' 24-hour newslines, which are usually updated by 6 am when the decision
to delay or close schools is made:
Seattle: 206-252-0207
Bellevue: 425-456-4111
Note:
When the public schools are on winter break, there won't be any snow day closure announcement
from the school districts on TV or radio. In that case, please check our school's own website or call 206-380-1222 for
snow day closure.
Snow day late pick up:
Call 206-361-1000 (Seattle site) or 206-388-9968 (Bellevue site) for snow day
late pick up or other emergencies. Please keep the call brief to
help the line remain open for other parents. Please do not call these numbers for non-emergency
issues. Late pick up fee for each student is $10 per 1-30 minutes, directly payable to the teacher.
Thanks!
4).Make-up Lessons:
No refund or credit will be issued for snow day closure. Makeup lessons, however, are available. Below is the makeup lesson policy for each program:
a). For preschool and kindergarten, makeup lessons are by parents' requests only. School won't arrange makeup lessons unless such a request is received.
Morning students can take makeup lessons in the afternoon and afternoon students can take makeup lessons in the
morning. Part time students can also take makeup lessons on the days they don't normally come. For example, a Monday-Wednesday-Friday student can
take a makeup lesson on Tuesday or Thursday. All makeup lessons should be taken in 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, there are no more makeup lessons.
To ensure safety and proper care, makeup lesson request must be made with the teachers in advance. Space is guaranteed when request is made in at
least 2-day advance. When request is made in only 1-day advance, school will still try its best to arrange the space, but can't guarantee it.
b). For after-school students, part-time students can take makeup lessons on the days they don't normally come. For example, a Monday-Wednesday-Friday
student can take a makeup lesson on Tuesday or Thursday. Daily students can take makeup lessons on Saturday. All makeup lessons should be taken in
2 weeks. After 2 weeks, there are no more makeup lessons.
c). For Saturday students, WIS will announce a make-up day, which is usually the first available Saturday after the snow day closure.
Announcement will be posted in school, as well as on our website.
d). For weekday English, Writing, Math, and other classes, please talk to your teachers to make arrangements. Usually a make-up lesson will
be offered within a week.
No refund or credit will be issued if a student misses the make-up lesson(s).
