Shoreline Unified School District

SUSD School Status Update: ALL Shoreline Schools remain closed for Wednesday, February 5th Dear Shoreline Community, Unfortunately, flooding continues to make many of our routes to school impassable, and as a result we must keep schools closed today, Wednesday February 5th. With the change in weather, we anticipate the flood waters will recede enough throughout the day to allow safe passage and a return to school tomorrow. We will update you this evening on the status for school tomorrow, Thursday February 6th. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause. Please take care. In community, Adam Jennings Superintendent
