Delays & Closings

Information about delays and closings is posted on the Quaker Valley homepage.  When weather conditions or other emergencies require the delay or closing of school, parents will also be notified on the radio and TV stations listed below.  Every effort will be made to reach a decision to delay or close school prior to 6:00 a.m.

Please do not call the schools, radio or TV stations. Official telephones must be used to execute the emergency procedures. You may call the Quaker Valley information line at 412-749-5555.

Two-Hour Delays: For a 2-hour delay, middle and high school students report at 9:45 a.m., and elementary students report at 10:40 a.m.  Morning Parkway students will not report, but a bus will pick them up for afternoon attendance at Quaker Valley. 

School Closings: Emergency closings will be posted and effective for a 1-day period. If the schools are to remain closed for a second day, a second announcement will be posted. No announcement will be made concerning the re-opening of schools.
