Philadelphia schools to open late Monday due to snow and bitter cold
Philadelphia schools will open late on Monday, Dec. 15, as the region cleans up after the weekend snowstorm and deals with bitter cold temperatures.
All School District of Philadelphia schools – including Early Childhood Centers and the Dr. Constance E. Clayton Education Center – as well as archdiocesan high schools and Catholic elementary schools in Philly will operate on a two-hour delay on Monday.
“Students who arrive late due to weather-related challenges will not be marked late, or will be excused if absent, upon receipt of a note from a parent or guardian,” a school district spokesperson wrote. “Staff who arrive late will be marked with an excused lateness. All outdoor activities scheduled for tomorrow will be moved indoors.”
