The National Weather Service, in conjunction with Chester County Emergency Management, is predicting potentially dangerous weather conditions Friday morning due to Hurricane Helene including flooding and sustained winds up to 43 mph. 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 Friday, September 27, 2024. All after-school activities and athletic events scheduled for Friday will also be canceled.
Students are asked to please ensure they take all learning devices and necessary materials home with them. 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 updates as needed.
Please continue to watch local weather forecasts, and stay safe!

Good afternoon Chester Park Families, This correspondence is to inform you that our campus was placed on a brief SECURE protocol this morning, due to the nearby middle school receiving information on a potential safety risk. A SECURE protocol means that nobody may enter or exit the building until the all clear has been given. The protocol was in placed at the elementary school, due to our proximity to Chester Middle School. The situation has been investigated by security personnel in accordance with district policy, and the SECURE protocol was lifted quickly. At no time was there any imminent threat against the school, students or staff members. Please contact our front office if you have any questions or concerns.
On TUESDAY, we’re hosting our next Community Engagement Session & School Tour! The event will take place from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm at the Great Falls High School cafeteria.

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.
