• Emergency Closing Information

     
    Serious weather conditions or other emergencies may make it necessary to close or delay the opening of schools. Announcements will be made on the TE All-Call Phone Notification System, the TESD website, the T/E Information Hotline - (610) 240-1970, T/E TV on Comcast Cable Channel 14 and Verizon Channel 20, as well as on local commercial television stations. Parents are encouraged to establish emergency procedures with their children ahead of time to prepare for early school closings. 

    Early Dismissal Times: *

    Grades 9-12: 11:45 am
    Grades 5-8: 12:17 pm
    Grades K-4: 12:45 pm
     
    * subject to change based on specific weather conditions

    Two-Hour Delays
     
    In the event of a two-hour delay, school will begin two hours after the school's regularly scheduled start time. Kindergarten classes will follow the modified kindergarten schedule below on two-hour delay days.
     
    Modified Kindergarten Schedule for Two-Hour Delays

    AM and PM kindergarten sessions will follow a modified schedule on days when inclement weather results in a 2-hour delayed opening. Each kindergarten session will be reduced by 1 hour when there is a delayed opening to provide equal instructional time for both sessions. AM kindergarten classes will begin at 11:10 am and will conclude at the modified pick-up time of 1:05 pm. Parents of PM kindergarten students should drop their children off at the modified start time of 1:50 pm. School dismissal time for PM kindergarten students remains at 3:45 pm. As a result, AM kindergarten students who use bus transportation to school will be picked up at their bus stops 2 hours later than usual and PM kindergarten students will ride the bus home at their regularly scheduled time. Parents are asked to make note of the change in the mid-day pick-up and drop-off times on days when there is a 2-hour delayed opening.
