Inclement Weather Information

A guide to understanding how Lynden Schools communicates closures and delays due to inclement weather:

• School closure decisions will be communicated the prior evening whenever possible to allow for family planning. When unable, we will make our best effort to inform families and staff by 5:30 a.m. on days when a decision is made to delay or close schools.

• Information on delays and school closures will be emailed to families and posted on the Lynden Schools Facebook and Twitter pages.

• Local news sources will be provided with this information, although we do not control what they elect to do with it.

• Modified bus routes may need to be implemented. If so, we will include that information in our communication to families. Snow Bus Routes 2022-2023.

• The district does not communicate if there are no changes to the schedule. No news means school will operate as scheduled.

• Lynden Schools encourages students, families and staff to use their best judgement when traveling to and from schools during inclement weather. 

• When school is delayed one hour, LMS will use its Wednesday late-start bell schedule. LHS will use this one-hour bell schedule. 

• When school is delayed two hours, students at LMS can follow this bell schedule. LHS will use this schedule.
