Attention Chester County School District Families:
We are aware of recent social media claims regarding threats to schools in several surrounding districts and states. Today, we received reports that some of these posts reference schools in our district. We have thoroughly investigated these reports and found no evidence that any of our schools are involved.
We encourage you to remind your students that it is always important to speak with an administrator or trusted adult if they have any concerns, whether from conversations or social media posts. Following the "See Something, Say Something" approach is essential, and we will investigate any reports related to the safety of our schools.
We also ask that you talk to your students about the impact of sharing unverified information, especially if the intent is to disrupt the school day or cause unnecessary panic. Posting or spreading these types of messages can be damaging to the mental health of our students, parents, and staff, and sharing misinformation only amplifies false claims. Please refrain from spreading such posts, particularly if they don’t pertain to our local schools.
Safety remains our top priority, and through collaboration, we will continue to provide a safe and secure learning environment for all.
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our schools safe.
On Tuesday, November 5, our community will vote on a $227 million bond referendum question to build a new Chester High School and a new Lewisville High School, and make key improvements and additions to Great Falls High School.

E-Learning Day Thursday, August 8th
All homeroom teachers will be available via email. Every student has gone home with a packet of work to be completed and returned when school resumes.
The National Weather Service has given an update predicting potentially dangerous weather conditions in the morning due to the storm including flooding and winds up to 30mph. These conditions make it hazardous for our buses to operate while transporting students.
For the safety of our school community, the Chester County School District will move to an eLearning day on Thursday, August 8, 2024. All after-school activities and athletic events scheduled for Thursday will also be canceled.
Teachers will be available during normal school hours via email to provide support as needed. All District staff members are also asked to work remotely. We will continue to monitor the situation and send an update regarding operations for Friday.
Please continue to watch local weather forecasts, and stay safe!
WEATHER UPDATE: The District is currently monitoring weather conditions and working in conjunction with Chester County Emergency Management. As always, we will notify everyone in the event of any school closures or delays due to Tropical Storm Debby.
In preparation for a possible e-learning day, we ask that all parents please remind your children to carry home any necessary items or learning devices over the next several days.
The safety of our students, school buses, and staff traveling on the roads during potentially hazardous conditions remains a priority. Please continue to check our social media, or website for any updates. Also, the District will send out direct communications via phone, text, and email.
Thank you for your cooperation, and please stay safe.
