Hyla Stories
Stormy Weather Information
Stormy Weather Information: With the season’s stormy weather comes fallen trees, power outages, flooding, snow, and ice.
The most important thing to know is that Hyla follows the Bainbridge Island School District when it comes to delays or school closures due to weather. Should you wonder if Hyla will have school or delay its opening, please listen to your radio (KOMO AM 1000 or KIRO AM 710) for updates about the Bainbridge Island School District. Should the Bainbridge Island middle and high schools close or start on a delayed schedule, Hyla will follow suit.
King5 has a text alert service as well. Click here to receive text or email alerts if Bainbridge Schools are closed or on a delayed schedule.
If Hyla’s campus loses power and if we anticipate that it will not be restored for an extended period, then we will initiate a phone tree to close school (and arrange for pick-ups if it is during the day).
Rest assured: if school closes early, we will have staff on hand on campus until the last child is picked up. If we are without power before school opens and we decide to cancel school for that day while the public schools remain open, we will utilize the same phone tree to let you know.
