I'm sitting here enjoying my first cup of coffee, Carson snoring at my feet, and looking out at the light snowfall we had overnight. What I'm NOT doing, is scanning the internet or going back and forth between TV channels to determine school delays or closures. In the past, it has happened where a delay became a closure and I hadn't heard. But this morning, I received a phone from the school district alterting me that school was delayed 2 hours.

The automated phone call is part of a new system the Tahoma School District is using to notify parents of absences and other special announcements. This is the first time it was used to announce a delay, but I have to admit, it was very nice. I got the information "from the horses mouth" and feel comfortable knowing if it's changed (from a delay to a closure) another call would go out.

Nice job Tahoma!

 But, um.....can you call me a little later than 5:30 am next time?  I still need my beauty sleep!
