Delays/Closings

The following is our policy regarding snow days and delays due to inclement weather.

St. Joseph Preschool generally follows the decisions made by the Fox Chapel Area School District in determining when a 2 hour delay or a cancelled day is in effect due to inclement weather. However, during the ongoing pandemic, the school district switches to virtual instruction on severe weather days, rather than 'cancelling' or 'delaying' school. St. Joseph Preschool will therefore make a case-by-case decision on whether to delay the start of preschool, or to cancel. This will be communicated to you via email and on our Facebook group page.

Two extra days are built into our preschool year. If more than two days are missed due to weather or other emergency, additional days will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
If preschool has a two hour delay, class times will be as follows:
  
Mon/Wed – Little Dippers - 11:00am - 12:00noon
 
Tues/Wed/Thurs – Blue Big Dippers - 11:15am – 12:45pm
 
Tues/Thurs - Red Big Dippers - 11:00am – 1:45pm
 
Mon/Tues/Wed/Thurs – Shooting Stars - 11:00am – 12:30pm
 
NOTE: On days that there is a delay, the Red Big Dippers will still have their lunch.
