Renton schools to make up missed snow days on May 25, June 20, 21

Renton School District students will make up the three days of school lost during the January snow storm on May 25 and by adding two days to the end of the school year, June 20 and 21.

Friday, May 25, will be a delayed-start day for students. Schools will start 90 minutes late for all students. Also, only morning kindergarten students attend classes.

Each year the district builds at least one snow day into its calendar to make-up for a school closure due to inclement weather. In rare cases where more make-up days are needed, school districts normally add days to the end of the school year.

Renton schools, like all Puget Sound-area schools, were closed on Jan. 18, 19 and 20 due to a severe winter storm that blanketed the region.
