School Closing Announcements on Delaware Valley Phone System

Inclement weather can force the closing or delay of school and the Delaware Valley School District is using their automated phone system to provide an easy way for students and parents to find out if school is delayed or closed at any time. Calling any of the main school telephone numbers and then pressing "1" after the system answers will provide an announcement of school delay or closing information. This recorded announcement is updated within minutes of any delay or closing decision. Because it is an automated system, it is available twenty-four hours a day. The initial decision to delay opening or close school is made by 5:45 a.m. and when the opening of school is delayed, the decision to close is generally finalized by 7:45 a.m.

"The automated phone system gives our community quick and immediate access to school delay and closing information," said Delaware Valley Superintendent, Dr. Candis Finan. "Any parent can easily check and not have to wait for the announcement from broadcast media. Checking the automated system when bad weather develops during the school day will let parents find out about early dismissals, too."

  • Delaware Valley Elementary School: 296-1820
  • Delaware Valley Middle School: 296-1830
  • Delaware Valley High School: 296-1850
