SNOW UPDATE: Renton schools 90 minutes late; Kent, Issaquah schools two hours late
Feb 26 2009
Renton schools will start 90 minutes late this morning because of an overnight snow storm.
Starting two hours late are the Kent and Issaquah school districts, which also serve students in the Renton area.
The Renton School District has a 90-minutes late start, as opposed to a one-hour or two-hour late start, because it has a routine in place to start the school day on those late-start Fridays. Schools start 90 minutes late on those Fridays to give teachers and staff time to do cooperative planning.

- No AM Kindergarten.
- No AM or PM Hillcrest Preschool.
- NO Head Start/ECEAP.
- No Career & Life Skills (off campus).
- No Adult Transition Program (Special Education).

The Issaquah two-hour late start means:
-No A.M. Kindergarten.
- No A.M. or P.M. Head Start.
