As the temperatures drop and winter weather systems enter our region more frequently, we want to take this time to remind families of our alert protocols.

Families will receive texts, phone calls, and/or emails through our alert system. A follow up email will be sent out from the qvelink@qvsd.org email address. In addition, our district website, www.qvsd.org, is used to communicate delays and closings, as is the District’s social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram).

Quaker Valley also notifies three local news stations: KDKA, WPXI, WTAE. Please note that the District does not control how quickly the information is updated on-air. You may consider signing up for the electronic alerts through these stations.

As in past years, we have built three weather-related/district-wide emergency closures into the district calendar.  

Should the District use all three emergency closure days, Quaker Valley will implement Flexible Instruction Days. During an online FID, students will learn asynchronously that day (independently on their own time and at their own pace) and will have access to instructional materials and assignments through Schoology, our online learning management system. The implementation of FID allows us to maintain the continuity of our school calendar without needing to use in-person make-up days on scheduled breaks or add school days to the end of the school year. Quaker Valley may use up to five FID without having to add days to the calendar.  

Please be assured that any decision to utilize FID will be communicated promptly through our official communication channels, including our website, social media platforms, and automated calling system. Additional details on FID procedures for students will be shared in a separate communication from each building principal.
