Winter Weather Plan 2024

Dear Avonworth Parents and Caregivers,   

With Thanksgiving approaching, we enter a time of year when weather could impact our school schedule. As we prepare for the possibility of weather-related delays and closings, we want to make sure families are as prepared as possible.  

We will shift to remote instruction if we need to close our schools due to inclement weather. All students in grades K-12 will attend classes remotely.  A remote learning day will run on a two-hour delay schedule for all students K-12. Remote instruction will begin for middle and high school students at 10:00 AM and primary and elementary students at 11:00 AM. The extra time in the morning will help teachers prepare for the remote learning day and give students any additional time they might need to complete work – or play in the snow! 

If we call for a delay, all Avonworth schools will operate on a two-hour delay schedule. If your child takes the bus, their pick-up time will be two hours later than normal. 

If we have to delay school or move to remote instruction due to inclement weather, the information will be shared in the following ways:

• The Avonworth School District website (www.avonworth.k12.pa.us) 
• School Messenger (call and email)
• Facebook (www.facebook.com/AvonworthSD) 
• Twitter (https://twitter.com/avonworthschool) 
• Instagram (www.instagram.com/avonworthsd)
• Local news stations (WPXI, WTAE, KDKA) 

Please review this Closing/Delay Frequently Asked Questions to help answer any additional questions you may have concerning school delays and closures.

Please use our website (www.avonworth.k12.pa.us) as your official source for information. 

Thank you in advance for your patience and flexibility this winter!
