SNOW (with accumulation) During Continuous Learning (remote learning) and 100% Online Learning

• It remains a typical day of Continuous Learning and 100% Online Learning
• No in-person services for those students who access BISD sites; they will access their learning in a Continuous Learning environment
• BISD Facilities closed for after school interscholastic activities and outside rentals and reservation
• This will count as a school day and thus, BISD will not be required to make it up at the end of the school year
• We will communicate with you via our usual channels
  

SNOW (with accumulation) During In-Person Learning

• No in-person learning. Instead, students will access their learning via the asynchronous materials posted by teacher(s)
• If applicable, a decision will be made by noon regarding extracurricular activities
• This will count as a school day and thus, BISD will not be required to make it up at the end of the school year
• We will communicate with you via our usual channels
  

POWER OUTAGES During Continuous Learning (remote learning) & 100% Online Learning

• BISD will work with Puget Sound Energy to determine how wide-spread the power outage is; if it is determined that the power will not be restored to the majority of the island by 9:30 a.m., it will be a non-school day
• BISD facilities closed
• This will not count as a school day and BISD may be required to make-up the day at the end of the school year
• We will communicate with you via our usual channels  
  

POWER OUTAGES During In-Person Learning

• The decision will be made on a case by case basis and included in the decision will be whether or not Puget Sound Energy predicts the school will be without power for the majority of the day. A decision about the feasibility of transitioning to asynchronous learning for the day will be assessed. If not feasible due to a wide-spread lack of power, school may be canceled for the impacted building(s). 
• BISD would need to apply for a waiver to the state for the missed day(s); if the waiver is not granted, the impacted school(s) may be required to make-up the day(s) at the end of the school year
• We will communicate with the impacted families and staff via our usual channels
