There are times throughout the year when the Moon Area School District may have to call a two hour delay or shift to remote learning.
What is a two hour delay?
If the district calls a two hour delay, all students and staff should report to school in person two hours after the time they typically being the school day. Buses will also follow a two hour delay schedule. If your child rides the bus, they should be at the stop two hours later than their typical time.
Students will follow a two hour delay (shortened) schedule throughout the day. They will be dismissed at the regular time.
What is remote learning?
If we need to physically close our schools due to weather, we will have a remote learning day. The Moon Area School District is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education to utilize an alternative instructional approach if certain circumstances arise. This alternative method is known as Remote Learning. Click here to learn more about remote learning.
