Dear School District of Philadelphia Families,
This weekend’s snowstorm and the resulting snow and ice across the region, has continued to yield hazardous travel conditions and ongoing impacts for drivers and commuters.
Based on the conditions due to the inclement weather, out of an abundance of caution and in order to ensure the safety of our entire school community, including our valued staff members who commute from various counties across the region, tomorrow all School District of Philadelphia schools and Early Childhood Centers, as well as the Constance E. Clayton Education Center (Central Office) will operate virtually. All after-school activities, including all athletic programs and professional development sessions scheduled for Wednesday, are also canceled.
While the School District of Philadelphia is eager to re-open schools open for in-person learning, the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remains our top priority. In accordance with the District’s Inclement Weather Protocol, we are closely monitoring weather conditions across our region. Should there be any changes to tomorrow’s schedule, we will communicate through our standard channels.
In partnership,
Tony B. Watlington Sr., Ed.D.
Superintendent
The School District of Philadelphia
