Notifications
  • By Phone All Radnor Township School District families will receive an automated telephone message via the Global Connect emergency notification system when inclement weather forces the closing or late opening of school. A message from the school superintendent will be delivered to all district families at about 6 a.m. 
Additional sources of information may include the RADtv (Comcast channel 11 or Verizon channel 31) and Radnor cable channel RTV10. These are not to be used as primary communication vehicles and will only supplement information given by the above sources.

Parents are also urged to check more than one source for information. While every effort is made to use all of the above sources, technology or other factors beyond our control sometime prevent posting of information on a particular source.  

Delayed Openings
In the event of a two-hour delayed opening, school will begin at 11:00 AM. Parents are asked not to drop off students prior to 10:45 AM. Lunches will be served at their regularly scheduled time. Any before school activities such as Computer Club, instrumental practices, etc. will be cancelled on late start days.
•
Extended Day Schedule
The extended day program will also operate on a 2-hour delay schedule. Since it usually opens at 7:30 a.m. on the regular schedule, it will be open to receive students at 9:30 a.m. on delayed opening days.
•
Modified Kindergarten Schedule
Whenever the opening of school is delayed two hours, students in the A.M. kindergarten session will report at 11 a.m. The morning session will be extended to 12:45 p.m. (from the usual ending time of 11:45). The AM students will go home on the midday buses at 12:45 p.m. or go to K-Club as usual. Parents are welcome to pack a larger snack or sandwich as snack time will be closer to lunch time. The PM kindergarten schedule remains the same.
 
Cancellation of Activities
When schools are closed, even if offices remain open, all activities in school district buildings are cancelled.
 
Who is Affected?
The RTSD school closing number applies to all students who use RTSD transportation. All RTSD buses, serving both public and non-public schools operate on the same schedule. If there is a delay or closing for district schools, it also applies to the transportation for the non-public school students.
