Emergency Closures & Late Start
In the event of severe weather, power outages, or other emergencies, Everett Public Schools may adjust schedules to ensure the safety of students and staff. We aim to inform families and staff about any schedule changes by 5:30 a.m. using multiple communication methods.
How we notify families and staff
- Text
- Voice message (if no text message is received)
- Push notification (if you have the ParentSquare app)
- District social media
- District and school websites
- Local radio and TV news
If no announcement is made, schools will operate on a normal schedule. Emergency schedule decisions are made on a day-by-day basis unless otherwise communicated.
