Inclement Weather School Closing Policy

In general, Friends Select School typically follows the School District of Philadelphia with regard to unexpected school closings, delays, and early dismissal due to weather. All decisions about Friends Select closures will be posted on the school's website and communicated via Ruvna. In making closure determinations, the school will consider the safety and needs of our community members, including students, families, and faculty and staff.

Parents and guardians should first go to the homepage of the school's website for school closing information as well as check their phone and email for a school communication via Ruvna.

The After School Program and Athletics will NOT operate on days when the school is closed unexpectedly or when the school closes early. They will operate on days when there is a delayed start.

Private Bus Service will NOT operate on days the school is closed due to inclement weather. On days when there is a delayed start, private bus service will not operate in the mornings but will operate in the afternoon. On days when the school closes early, private bus service will operate in the mornings but will not in the afternoon.

Vacation Care will be decided on a case-by-case basis. Please refer to the school's website and check your phone or email for a communication via Ruvna.
