Reminder about weather-related closures for 2025-2026

Please review this important information about LMSD’s notification process and this year’s virtual instruction plans that will be activated in case of weather-related late openings or closures.

The goal is to decide about closures or late openings and send notifications before 6:00 a.m. or the evening before, if the forecast warrants. Crews from our Transportation and Operations departments assess road conditions throughout the District and consult with the Township, weather services and PennDoT. It’s important to note that while roads in one area of the District may be clear, conditions elsewhere may be hazardous. The safety of ALL students, drivers and staff is the primary factor under consideration.

If a weather-related late opening, closure or early dismissal will occur, the following notification methods will be used:

• Emails, phone calls and text message will be sent to staff
• Emails and text messages will be sent to families who have email addresses and cell phones registered in PowerSchool
  • Note: NO phone calls to families are made between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
• Information will be posted on the District Website
• Information will be posted on the District Facebook page and Instagram.
• Information will appear on the LMSD TV channel: Xfinity Channel 22, Fios Channel 36
• Information will be shared with local TV and radio news outlets
• Right At School will notify RAS families about their hours and locations via email

When inclement weather is forecasted, schools will work with students to ensure they bring their devices home the day before a possible closure. No “traditional” snow days are built into this year’s calendar, rather, when buildings are closed, students will have a virtual instruction day, which will include both synchronous and asynchronous learning.

Information for how students and parents/guardians can access virtual instruction, as well as daily schedules for virtual instruction days, are available here. Teachers will work with our youngest learners ahead of any closures to acquaint them with how virtual learning works.
