• School Closings & Delays

    The West York Area School District takes the safety and well-being of our students very seriously. Occasionally, inclement weather or an emergency will cause the district to close school, delay the start of school, or send students home early. Parents and employees will be notified of such changes in the following manner:

    • Automatic Calling System (ACS) 
      Parents/Guardians and employees will be contacted via phone. Please be sure to keep your telephone number(s) current with the district to ensure you will receive timely information about school closings, delays, and/or emergency situations.
