Lakeside School Custom Bus Snow/Adverse Weather

Reroute Information

On early mornings when snow has fallen or is threatening, please use one of the LION TALK numbers (MS 206-726-2870 or US 206-726-2859) to learn the status at school, allowing other numbers to remain open. LION TALK will announce whether school is open or closed; there will be no late starts. KOMO, KING, and KIRO-TV as well as AM radio stations KIRO-710 and KOMO-1000 announce school closures. Information is also available at www.schoolreport.org .

Occasionally, when a storm is approaching or driving is precarious, school will be dismissed early. Parental discretion is advised for students driving in snow and icy conditions.

Please call Metro Dispatch directly for up-to-date schedule information, 206-553-3000 (press 0), or call the Emergency Pager 206-982-8909, enter your phone number and a Metro representative will return your call.
 

There are no changes to Route 982, 984, 987, 988, 989, and 994 during snow or adverse weather conditions.

Please see these links for snow reroute information for Routes 986 and Route 995 (the schedules and maps are more easily read when printed or by enlarging the text size on your screen).  If you see that your stop is on a street marked with a dotted line, please choose an alternate stop if there is snow or ice on the ground. Be sure to allow extra time for bus pick up and drop off.  Metro runs the bus routes whenever the weather makes driving unsafe.

If you have service concerns please call 206-440-2801.  This number will be answered by Theresa Cline in the Middle School before school hours, Cathy Martin in the business office during school hours, and Carol Yancey in the Middle School after school hours.
