Learn more about the replacement levies
Lake Stevens School District will ask voters to consider renewing two levies in the Feb. 8, 2022 Special Election—an Educational Programs & Operations Levy and a Capital Technology Levy. The current levies, which voters approved in 2018, expire in 2022. The replacement levies will provide funding for schools through 2026. These are not new taxes.

The renewal of the Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Levy funds day-to-day school operations, including educator and nurse salaries, reduction of class sizes, Special Education, safety and security systems, early learning programs, and extracurricular activities, including athletics and music.

The renewal of the Technology Levy continues our investment in student and employee technology. This levy funds student computers to continue our 1:1 program, tech support for students and families, training for staff, network security, safety equipment, and updates to technology programs and systems to ensure our students and employees have the most up-to-date learning supports.

Have a wonderful Winter Break!
Winter Break is Monday, Dec. 20 through Friday, Dec. 31. There is no school for students during the break. Today is a normal Friday with an 85-minute early release. School resumes on Monday, Jan. 3. We hope you have a wonderful break and a happy holiday season!
How we communicate about school delays and closures
When winter weather hits, our top priority is the safety of students and employees. Our district's geography is taken into account when the decision is made. One part of our area may be clear while other areas are struggling with snow or ice. It is not possible to close some schools in the district while leaving other schools open.

To help make the best possible decision, weather forecasts are monitored throughout the process. District staff members drive the roads beginning at 3:30 a.m. checking schools and routes that are frequently impacted and report road conditions to the superintendent by 5 a.m. A decision and announcement is made as quickly as possible. This process sometimes changes based on weather conditions.

Information is shared using these communication channels:

  • FlashAlert: Local TV, radio and newspapers pull information from FlashAlert. You can subscribe to receive text and email alerts from FlashAlert.
  • Text message
  • Mobile app notification
  • Email to families
  • Social media posting
  • District website posting

We do not use our automated calling system for school delays and closures due to weather. If no messages are posted, schools are open and operating on normal schedules.

Delay and closure options:

  • Schools start on time (no message will be shared).
  • Schools start on time with limited bus service or buses on snow routes. Afternoon bus service will also be on snow routes. 
  • Schools start two hours late (no a.m. preschool, no out-of-district transportation, no morning Sno-Isle bus).
  • Schools are closed (no after school activities, athletics or facility use).

Options are subject to change depending on weather conditions.
