As we approach winter, we’ve implemented new procedures to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Please review and hang this information on your refrigerator.

If your parent contact information has changed since August, when registration forms were turned in, please contact your school's secretary to update that information as soon as possible.

Parents will receive closure or delay information several different ways including: text message, email, push notification through the LOSD app, website alert, automated phone call, Twitter, and local television and radio stations. You can find more information on the website as to how we communicate this information. Please download the Lake Oswego Schools app to get the latest information. Staff will receive an automated phone call. 

Snow day decisions will be made by 6 a.m. the day of the event. If there is a delay to the start of school, then it would be a 2-hour delay.

We will be using snow routes for the first time this year. You can find them here. Please review this information ahead of time. The decision to use snow routes will be made the morning of a snow event.

If parents believe conditions in their area make it unsafe for students to travel to school, the district will support their decision to keep their child(ren) at home.

There are many factors that go into the decision to delay the start school or to cancel school. We appreciate your support and we are very sensitive to issues that may arise from changes in schedules due to weather events. Weather event decisions will impact our usual programming the following ways:

Extended Day Program

On days requiring a late start, the Extended Day Program will be not be available in the morning. We understand the difficulties that this policy may cause families, however, it will ensure student and staff safety. Thank you very much for your understanding.

High School Class Days - A/B Schedule

Both high schools will use the following guidelines for inclement weather situations:

• If there is inclement weather on an A day, the day we return will be an 8-period day. The following day we will return to our regular calendar schedule

• If there is inclement weather on a B day, the day we return will be a B day and the 2nd day back will be an 8-period day. The following day we will return to our regular calendar schedule

This corrects the A/B schedule as quickly as possible.
