As in previous years, any schedule adjustments due to inclement weather will be shared via the following communication tools:

• Website Pop-Up Alert on Reading SD

• Blackboard Mass Notification - phone, text, email, and mobile app
  Parent contact information listed with the school is used for mass notification messages and can be updated via the Reading School District’s mobile app or by visiting the school office. 

  • Families can download the Reading School District’s free mobile app on Google Play or Apple iTunes.

  • Families are encouraged to create a free Gmail account through Google to get district-wide emails. 

• Reading School District Social Media
  Facebook and Twitter

• WFMZ-Channel 69 News
  We typically announce inclement weather information on WFMZ-Channel 69 News. 

• Class Dojo (K-8)
  Building principals will post the information on the school’s Class Dojo. Families with students in K-8 are strongly encouraged to download the Class Dojo app for free on their phones.  Please reach out to your child's teacher or your school's Parent Outreach Assistant for information on how to join Class Dojo.

• Remind (9-12)
  High school teachers/administrators will post information on the school’s Remind. Families with students in 9-12 are strongly encouraged to download the Remind app for free on their phones.  Please reach out to your child's teacher or the school's Parent Outreach Assistant for information on how to join Remind.

   

*Please inform the main office at your child's school when your email, home/cell phone number or address changes so we have up-to-date contact information. This is extremely important in case of emergencies and weather notifications.

We are prepared for four different scenarios depending on how severe the weather is.

District services, such as appointments, enrollments, and meal distribution, could be impacted by inclement weather. Staff will do their best to contact families and reschedule any appointments. 

During inclement weather, staff and students might not be able to access the school buildings. During months when inclement weather is a possibility, students must take their Chromebook, laptop charger, and any materials home daily to ensure that they would be able to participate in remote learning, if necessary.
