Hundreds of Irvine Unified School District students have been stranded for days at science camps in San Bernardino County due to heavy snowfall in the area, and efforts are underway to get them home.

Several mountain roads remained closed early Monday morning because of the snow. Caltrans says crews were working to clear them, including Highway 330 and Highway 18.

Some of the students are stuck at Pali Adventure Camp in Running Springs and the rest are at Thousand Pines Camp in Crestline. During the brunt of the storm over the weekend, some parents told Eyewitness News they weren't able to communicate with their kids because they weren't allowed to bring their cell phones on the trip."Teachers have told her that she could write a letter. They took a picture of it, they sent it to me," said Parisa Yazdani. "One of the teachers let her send me a text through the app that they use for showing all the parents pictures...

In a statement to parents, the district said in part: "Please know that students will remain safe and under adult supervision throughout this process. As communicated previously, we encourage families to follow CHP guidance and to avoid the area so that roads can remain open for our buses and we can bring our students down the mountain as efficiently and safely as possible."

Aww..Little Snowflakes.

I loved science camp. I could imagine it sucks being stuck a few extra days but not terribly bad. Hope they get home soon

To the student(s) that ran out of medication, I'm sorry! But to the staff who planned their trip in February, you guys wanted snow and now you have it. Doubt it was their first science trip. Come on now!

They must be having fun! Snow all around, no school and no parents!

I’d look like this too if I was stuck in San Bernardino

They got a roof,hot food and a fire.. Much more than Julian Sands has/had.. GetAGrip

Wtf is there to be sad about. weirdos

Grow up. They aren’t lost at sea.

I live in Crestline and it’s incredibly hard to do or go anywhere right now.

Call a wambulance

If that is the face of science in the future, we are in a lot of trouble.

'Mountain' Science camp? Hopefully everyone is alright? But, ahem, mountains should be prepared for snow no matter what. Lol. Its a mountain. They get snow.

At least they have shelter 😔 food water etc...

Watch the parents sue the school district for not allowing them to bring their phones 📱 and putting their children in emotional distress. Didn’t any of these fuggers look at Dallas Raines’ forecast? Maybe it wasn’t a good time to head up.

I wouldn't want to be stranded in San Bernardino either.

Snowflakes

Why would they go to camp w/o a charger? Plus they can use someone else's. Also if I'd gotten snowed in at camp for a few days,as long as we had food,me & my friends would have been fine. It's Days not Months.

Sounds like fun

I wonder how they will feel about global warming and oceans rising after this event

Her ugly cry face 🥲

i feel like this pic plastered online would be more traumatic than the storm tbh.

Go make a snowman ☃️

It’s the bottom lip for me

The comments don't pass the vibe check. You leave my child stranded somewhere, your ass is grass.

Oh no. Their phone batteries are going to die and they can’t TikTok live stream it 😪

Lmao ppl need to stop. Meanwhile in LA people getting killed and robbed. Imagine crying over snowfall💀💀💀💀

Too bad nobody knew this was coming!!!!

LMFAO. The tears lol.

if only there were multiple advisories about this storm!

Oh no! Their cellphones don’t even work because the batteries are dead. They might have to hold an actual conversation for once. Let’s hope they’ll be alright.

🤣

Give me a break, their not fighting a goddamn war

Sounds amazing?

And they could check the weather on cell phones, ' oohhhh big storm coming,snow rain for days, let's go home now before storm gets here in 3 days' 🙄 I guess.

What's with the tears?

caltrans with a $20 billion budget, and they can't clear the road.

Really

Why don’t they fly a helicopter over the area and bring them down?

This is called a vacation for me.

I don’t understand, this was a very well publicized storm with very accurate predictions of how bad it was going to be. They left on Tuesday, why did no parent or district person say, hey this is a bad idea? Where is the common sense and situational awareness?

All fun and games until you run out of fun and have to eat your dead classmate. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hell, I live 2400 miles away and even I knew the weather was going to be bad. WTH we’re these people thinking.

They miss their phones, not their parents 😂😂😂

Caltrans8 get rimhighschool busses dug out so we can get these poor kiddos back down the mountain!!!

Lol

I’d cry too if I was stuck in San Bernardino

Irvine, the Karen capital of the world

Why would they do her like that lmao

Lol you know you have it good when you’re crying over bad weather.

Some of these children are on medication and did not take enough with them for an extended time…it can get a little scary for some.

Sounds like the organizers never heard of a weather forecast. It's not like they're stranded out on a mountain side huddled under a tree though. Why are they crying.

And they couldn't check weather forecast, let's check weather forecast for next days, ohhhh shots snow big storm coming in 3 days, let's go home now 🙄 I guess.

RIP office employees who gotta deal with the parents of Irvine

Why didn’t they cancel it? Everyone knew a major storm was coming. Probably a money grab by the camp. Shameful.

That's science study keep learning.

Omg 😢

Hold my beer.
