Closing & Delay Procedures

 
Phone Messages and Text Messages will be send through our automated caller system, Skylert.  Student messages are usually sent by 6:30am.  Parents should not rely on the Skylert system as their only source of delay and cancellation information.
 
The website Information Alert at http://www.southallegheny.org is usually updated between 5:15am and 6:30am for delays and cancellations.
 
Listen to KDKA radio (1020 AM), KDKA television, and WPXI for information concerning delayed school openings and the cancellation of school.  Other stations will be notified but KDKA and WPXI are the only official stations. Information is usually broadcast beginning at approximately 6:00 AM.  Continue to listen to the station for updated information.  Occasionally during severe weather, weather conditions may worsen and a delay may be changed to a closing.  This may occur as late as 8:30 AM.
 
KDKA and WPXI will also be used for information during an approaching storm or other emergency. 
Weather information can accessed over the Internet at: www.kdka.com or www.kdkaradio.com or www.wpxi.com

In the event that weather conditions worsen, updates will be posted after 8:30 AM in regard to the necessity of a school closure.
