Philadelphia Schools to Hold Virtual Classes on Wednesday
The School District of Philadelphia will hold virtual classes on Wednesday due to recent severe winter weather. The decision comes as the city continues its recovery efforts following a significant snowstorm.
Details on Virtual Classes
On Wednesday, all educational activities in the Philadelphia School District will transition to an online format. This includes the cancellation of after-school activities, athletic programs, and professional development sessions.
Safety First
The district emphasized that “the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families is our top priority.” The winter storm has resulted in hazardous road conditions, making travel unsafe for students and staff.
Impact on Other Schools
- Archdiocesan high schools and parochial elementary schools will also conduct classes virtually.
- Schools in suburban counties are advised to follow the lead of their local public school district in regards to virtual operations.
Ongoing Cleanup Efforts
Since the storm began on Sunday, city crews have been diligently working to clear roads and ensure safety for commuters. The severe conditions caused by snow and ice have affected many throughout the greater Philadelphia region.
