If weather makes travel hazardous, the Molalla River School District will close all district schools. However, in the event of localized weather conditions, the school closures will be announced on an individual basis.

All closure information, whether district-wide or for an individual school or route, will be announced using the School District's Alert system. Keeping your contact information current at your school will enable you to receive email or text messages directly and first.

If a Delay is announced, please continue to listen for an updated report. If morning weather conditions worsen, the decision may be changed to School Closure. 

Coming soon: A new Molalla River Schools mobile app for Andoid and Apple, which will enable parents to customize their message notifications.

Local media stations will be notified via FLASHALERT.NET.  FlashAlert has a NEW mobile app, and you will need to download that if you wish to continue with the service. As an end user, and you have to confirm your contact information annually.

The way to receive school email/text information first, will be from the schooldistrict's alert system.

If Snow Routes are called, AM as well as PM Bus routes are affected. Parents need to pick up their students or arrange for their students pick up from a snow route stop.

Outreach Program – No AM and PM Outreach on any two-hour delay. On snow route days, Outreach will also be on snow routes.

Preschool – No AM preschool transportation on any two-hour late start

Special Needs Transportation – Student transportation will run the same schedule as Molalla River School District. They will also be on snow routes. (Example: if your student goes to Gladstone. Gladstone is running on time, but Molalla is running two hours late, your student will be transported two hours late.) If your student attends school out of the Molalla River School District and they are on a delay, we will not provide transportation that day. (Example: Gladstone is on a two-hour delay and Molalla is not, there is no transportation, or if we must travel through a district that is on a two-hour weather delay there will be no transportation that day.)

Roads listed below are roads on snow routes for big buses, if you live on one of these roads you will need to call in to set up a snow route time for your student.

Friday Late Start Days – If school is on a two-hour delay, the one hour late start Friday will be included in the two-hour delay, meaning school starts one hour later than the usual Friday time.

Afternoon early Closure: Should schools close early, we may be forced to run snow routes even though this has not been announced. If your student does not feel that he or she can get home safely, we will return them to their School.
