2022-23 Snow Policy
Journey has always followed Spokane Schools with their snow closure days, so if Spokane Public Schools are closed then Journey will also be closed.
Journey Snow Closure Policy:
-
Journey has always followed Spokane Schools with their snow closure days, so if Spokane Public Schools are closed then Journey will also be closed.
-
If Spokane Public Schools has a late start, Journey will open at 8:00am
-
This will allow or teachers and families to safely arrive to Journey
-
Our early morning teachers have to get on the roads as early as 5am, before much of the de-icing and snow removal occurs, as they attempt to arrive on time for our typical opening time.
For the safety of our team, and you all, we need to set a clear later opening time so that they are not on the roads in unsafe conditions. Therefore, if SPS announces a late start then Journey will open at 8am.
We will alert you of a snow closure/late start by doing the following:
-
Alerts/emails will be sent ~6:00am
-
Report to KHQ, KREM and KXLY of our school closure (we will not report late start to the news, only closures)
-
Email
-
Brightwheel
Icy/Winter Weather Pick-Up:
-
If evening roads are predicted to be unsafe, please arrive by 5:15pm if you are able
-
If/when we have unsafe driving conditions in the afternoon/evening, arriving early not only helps ensure you get here safely, but also ensures our teachers can get home safely
-
If there is specific a need for early closure due to unsafe driving conditions, we will email/Brightwheel on that date
