School Closing Information

When school is closed for an emergency or weather

In the event it becomes necessary to close school, delay the opening of school or dismiss early, an announcement will be made as follows:

  • Voice Message to the phone number in your Skyward Account
  • Post at Penn-Delco webpage www.pdsd.org
  • Posts on Penn-Delco social media pages
  • Text to those who have opted in by texting "Y" or "Yes" to our district short code 67587. (By opting in for text messages and setting text as a preference, you can also receive attendance reporting confirmations, as well as other district communication, via text.)
  • Information at news stations including abc, cbs, nbc, fox

Please do not call the school for information as it ties up the phone lines needed for emergency calls.  Parents/guardians should develop an emergency plan with their children so they will know where to go if schools must close unexpectedly.
