Inclement Weather and Transportation
If Saucon Valley School District is closed or has a delayed opening or early dismissal due to inclement weather, the information is disseminated via commercial radio, TV, and the website. In addition, if you have a student attending a Saucon Valley school building, you will receive an automated telephone call.
If the private or out-of-district school has closures, delays, or early dismissals, this information will be conveyed to you by the school or service provider. Since all Saucon Valley buses make daily morning and afternoon runs to multiple different schools, all with varying schedules, it is impossible for them to alter their schedules due to inclement weather. Therefore the following rules apply to bus service supplied by Saucon Valley.
-
If Saucon Valley School District is closed – No transportation will be provided to any school, public private or parochial, even if that school is open.
-
If Saucon Valley School District has a delayed opening – All bus transportation will be delayed even if the school your child attends is running on a normal schedule. If a student needs to be at school at the regular normal time, families will need to provide that transportation.
-
If Saucon Valley School District is operating on a normal schedule – All buses will run on a normal schedule. If your child's school is delayed, there is no AM transportation to charter/non-pubs, transportation only occurs in the PM. If your student attends a private or other out-of-district school and that school is opening late, Saucon Valley is notified by the other school and will provide a bus after they have finished their regularly scheduled runs.
-
In the event Saucon Valley School District closes early because of deteriorating weather conditions, parents of a private or other out-of-district student, the school your child attends will be notified, and they are required to notify you. Saucon Valley transportation will arrive at the private or other out-of-district school as soon as they are safely able to.
