A letter from the Superintendent:
Dear Hurricane Family,
The weather forecast is calling for a significant winter storm to impact our area next week. In preparation, the district administrative team met yesterday to develop a comprehensive plan focused on student and staff safety, instructional delivery, snow-clearing procedures, virtual learning schedules, and the availability of our campus to support the community in the event of widespread power outages.
At this time, if school is closed on Monday, it would constitute our third traditional snow day, which would be made up later this spring. Should winter weather conditions persist or worsen as predicted, the district may begin utilizing Flexible Instruction Days (FID) as early as Tuesday, in accordance with our approved plan through the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Additional details and guidance will be communicated as decisions are made.
Our top priority remains safety, and we will continue to monitor conditions closely while making decisions as early as possible to allow families and staff time to plan. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate what could be one of the most challenging winter storms in years.
Finally, I want to extend a special thank you to our custodial and maintenance teams. They have done an outstanding job all winter long and are once again preparing for what may be their largest storm yet. Their dedication and hard work behind the scenes do not go unnoticed. Please continue to watch for district communications in the coming days. Stay safe and take care of one another.
Sincerely,
Shawn T. Fitzpatrick, Ed.D
