Federal Way Public Schools has created a Facebook page (www.facebookcom/fwps210) to provide another way to share things happening in the district.

In order to comply with the state’s archiving requirements and to preserve the district’s branding, the page will direct the reader back to the district website for the “rest of the story.”

The district is inviting feedback from members to help make the page a vibrant and vital part of its online presence.  

In addition to launching the Facebook page, the district has set up a Twitter account.  It can be followed on Twitter@fwps210.

 In spite of Doppler radar and other advances in weather prediction, it is difficult to be sure about the weather and the road conditions we may encounter in the thirty-five square miles the District encompasses >see more on the district website
