Snow Days

If the Derry Township Superintendent closes or delays school openings, the announcement will be made as early as possible on the following stations:
  • WNNK-FM 104.1 (WINK 104)
  • WTPA-FM 93.5
  • WWKL-FM 92.1 (HOT 92)
  • WGAL-TV Ch 8 (http://www.wgal.com/weather/closings)
  • Derry Township School District www.hershey.k12.pa.us
A One Call Now message will be sent to parents via phone call, email, and/or text as soon as a decision has been made. You may call the school answering machine (533-2854) for the most up-to-date information. A "regular" message indicates that Derry Township has not yet informed us of a decision to delay or cancel school. Unless you hear a radio announcement to the contrary, school will be held on schedule. If some districts are closed, but Derry Township is not closed, school will be in session, but students from districts, which are closed, will not be considered absent, although they will be responsible for work presented. If the school districts vary in the delayed opening schedule, follow the announcement that pertains to the district in which you live for being transported to school. If you ride to school and a one-hour delay is announced, report to your bus stop one hour later than usual. 

In the event of early dismissal, announcements will be made via radio, TV, e-mail, or website. In that event, we make every effort to contact parents of children who think they will be going home to an empty house. We appreciate parents anticipating our call by letting us know of any special instructions for their children. Planning ahead is always less stressful for students in these circumstances. On days of possible early snow closings, it is recommended that parents write a plan for their children to give to the teacher, as it is often difficult to reach us if we are using all of the phone lines to contact parents of anxious children.

Parents are asked to send in a generic plan for early dismissal, with the understanding that it can change according to circumstances of the day.
