important potential changes to schedules for friday, 1.18
PLEASE NOTE IMPORTANT POTENTIAL CHANGES TO SCHEDULES FOR ALL K-12 STUDENTS IN THE EVENT THAT WE MUST DELAY SCHOOL TOMORROW.
Central York School District has a Teacher In-Service Half-Day with early dismissal for students planned for tomorrow, January 18, 2019.
If the District has to delay the start of school by two hours due to weather/travel conditions, the early dismissal will be cancelled for Grades K-8.
The High School will still hold finals and dismiss early, but at 1:15PM.
Please see the specific details, below.
- Central York High School
- Finals will be held as planned.
- High School students will be dismissed at 1:15PM.
- Lunches will not be served. Students who feel they may need it should bring a snack with them to school tomorrow. As always, bagged lunches are available for students who need to take a lunch with them at dismissal.
- Central York Middle School and All K-6 Schools Will Delay Two Hours & Dismiss at Same Time as a Normal School Day (2:46PM for CYMS and 3:35PM for K-6 Schools).
- Students will not be dismissed early as originally planned on the school calendar.
- K-8 Schools will dismiss at their normal times (2:46PM for Central York Middle School and 3:35PM for K-6 Schools).
- Lunches will be provided as on a normal school day.
We will communicate any scheduled changes to all families via phone, Skyward, the District website and social media (Facebook/Twitter).
Update on Flexible Instructional Days
The state Department of Education has extended Central York School District’s request to provide “Flexible Instructional Days” to our learners this school year. This means that on days when situations like winter weather or a building emergency require us to close our schools, we can provide instruction to our students at home rather than in the classroom (think “Cyber Snow Day.”) The state will count this as a full day of school and we will not have to make it up during the school year.
We are prepared for and planning to use these days during the 2018-2019 school year. If winter weather forces a closure tomorrow, Friday, January 18, we will not be using a FID at that time.
Please stay tuned for additional communication about using a FID in the event that winter weather or an emergency forces us to close schools unexpectedly.
