If there is no message about Snoqualmie Valley School District #410, schools are open on a normal schedule.  When our school district makes the call for adverse weather conditions, the entire district might not be affected.  The district is, therefore, divided into three areas.  These divisions are called Area A, B, and C for limited transportation services.  When limited transportation is called for within the District, the affected Area will be selected.  If your Area is called to have limited transportation, check to see if your pick-up location has changed, and if so, go to that new location.  Occasionally, when only high elevation locations within an Area are affected, the locations will be listed by neighborhood (i.e. Limited Transportation Area A: River Bend, Wilderness Rim, The Uplands only) on the school website – www.svsd410.org
