Tri-Tech follows the Kennewick School District weather policy. If there is a 2 hour delay, there is no AM Tri-Tech. If Kennewick cancels there is no Tri-Tech at all. If an outlying district calls a 2 hour delay, all of those students will be excused from AM Tri-Tech because if it is too bad for the buses, our students probably shouldn't be driving either. We encourage students to ride the buses in the winter and leave the driving to the professionals. If parents ever feel the conditions are too bad for their student to drive, please let our attendance office know. You can also sign up for Parent Square to be notified right away when there are weather delays.

What a fantastic day at our 3rd Annual Flu Clinic at NEWTech Prep! A huge thank you to everyone who made it a success, especially our incredible volunteer pharmacist from Walgreens—you’re a rockstar! We administered 40 flu shots today, serving not just our students but also staff, parents, and even our janitor! Our students weren’t just bystanders; they rolled up their sleeves to gain hands-on experience in patient intake, administering shots, taking vitals, and working as a team. Thanks to everyone who participated and made this flu drive such a memorable experience!
