Winter Weather Procedures orwin

NORWIN SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS
In the event that we experience inclement weather , the District may decide to operate on a two-hour delay schedule with students reporting to school late or to enact a Flexible Instruction Day ( FID ) with students working from home for the entire day .
Similar to past years , the Norwin School District may use up to five Flexible Instruction Days during the 2024-2025 school year . The purpose of a FID is to maintain a continuity of instruction through remote learning on a day when students are not able to attend in person , and to avoid having to cancel school due to inclement weather .
If enacted , students will not report to school and transportation will not be provided on a Flexible Instruction

Day . Students will participate in remote learning with details provided by their classroom teachers and building principals .
If you have any questions about the procedures for Flexible Instruction Days , please contact your child ’ s teacher or building principal .
The decision to delay or enact a Flexible Instruction Day considers numerous factors including current road and weather conditions , the temperature and windchill , and the forecast . Typically , the decision to delay or cancel classes is made prior to 5:30 a . m . However , there are occasions that changing road and weather conditions will necessitate a later decision .
Any change to our schedule is communicated via the following platforms :
• Automated text message system
• KDKA , WPXI , WTAE on-air and online
• Norwin School District website
• District Facebook Page
If you did not receive the automated text message for the two-hour delay that occurred earlier this month , please visit the district website to review the information on ensuring you are properly signed up .
