The district made up one of the "snow days" on January 2, which had been scheduled as a vacation day. Currently, the district plans to make up the three remaining lost days on June 21, 22 and 25. Meanwhile, Superintendent Joan Zook has asked the Washing- ton State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for a waiver for one of' the lost days, namely, December 15, the day after the major windstorm that caused widespread power outages in Ma- son County.
