Rain on a windshiled on Mar. 1, 2023.

Citing student and staff safety during the storm, several San Diego County school districts changed schedules today.

Schools affected by the storm include:

  • Schools in the Jamul-Dulzura School District closed early due to flooding;
  • The Julian Union High School District canceled after-school ASSETs activities due to flooding;
  • The Warner Unified School District canceled transportation for its afterschool program due to flash flood warnings and the potential for rock/mud slides on bus routes;
  • The Monarch School dismissed students early due to a power outage; and
  • SDCOE Community Schools 37ECB, SOUL Academy, Bridges, and Escondido Community School will dismiss students early.

Parents/caregivers were asked to pick up their students as soon as it's safe to do so based on local weather conditions/alerts, according to a statement from the San Diego County Office of Education. Schools are communicating directly with families and will provide assistance to any students who need it.
