NEWS FOR SEPTEMBER
We have received information from a few of our sending school districts that their schools will be closed and they will not be providing bus service on Friday, September 25, 2015. The city of Philadelphia has made a vast plan to close down many streets in the city that weekend for the anticipated million visitors coming to see the Pope. The ODCA School Board has decided that the school will not open on that day on site as transportation may be difficult and not entirely safe for students and faculty that have to drive from those areas. We are planning to set up an "at home" school day for that day and during orientation next week the teachers will be trained to possibly make it a trial "cyber" day with the students checking in. That would be a way to enable us to take attendance and count it as a school day. Many schools are doing this for snow closing days so they don't lose a school day and the students continue to progress in their studies. We wanted to give you as much notice as possible to minimize any inconvenience this may cause you.
