Winter Weather Communication
|
Know Before You Go!
- If you wake up and it is snowing, or you hear about snow or icy road conditions anywhere in Kitsap County, we encourage you to check ParentSquare, email, the District website, news media, and/or social media for updates before leaving for school!
- No news is good news! If you don't see information about a delay or closure from any of the sources noted on this page, it means schools and buses are on a regular schedule!
We make every effort to make the decision about school closures due to winter weather by 5:30 a.m. We will communicate information and updates about weather impacts on school via:
Important: We do not send out early morning "robo calls" for snow days or winter weather delays. If a decision is made to delay or cancel school the night before, we will notify families and staff via ParentSquare and robo call that evening.
Please see the information in this link for details on school delays and closures.

Bremerton School District is committed to supporting the social, emotional, and behavioral health of students. The insights gathered from SEL surveys are invaluable to school staff, as they help to better understand students' emotional well-being and social interactions. This data plays a crucial role in creating supportive environments and targeted interventions that foster student success. This information will help schools and staff understand the needs of students at both the individual and school level.
Families who wish to opt out of the SEL survey, should contact their child's homeroom teacher or counselor to express this decision prior to 3/7/25. The teacher or counselor will guide them through the opt-out process and ensure the student is excluded from the survey. It is important for families to communicate their request before the survey is administered to ensure it is processed in time. Afterward, families will receive confirmation that the student will not participate in the survey.
