Seattle Holds Schools Open While City Celebrates Super Bowl Win

• Trophy Ceremony
• Time: 10 a.m. PT, Wednesday

• Location: City Hall Plaza

• Parade
• Time: 11 a.m. PT
• Route: 4th Avenue

Despite the excitement, Seattle Public Schools will remain open. Students who miss class for the festivities will receive an unexcused absence.

“Maintaining a regular schedule keeps students stable, safe, and focused on their studies,” said school officials.

In contrast to other cities:

• Philadelphia closed schools for the Eagles’ parade last year.
• Kansas City shut schools for the Chiefs two years ago.

Mayor Katie B. Wilson encourages residents to attend responsibly and with pride, but she emphasizes that school attendance remains a priority.

Parents & Students:

• Plan to join the parade while balancing academic responsibilities.
• Prepare for a normal early‑release day.

The decision underscores the district’s belief that consistent routine is essential, even amid city-wide celebrations.
