Weather Update | 2-Hour Delay

Due to extreme cold, the Brandywine Heights Area School District will operate on a 2-hour delay on Wednesday, January 28; Thursday, January 29; and Friday, January 30.

The delay allows time for buses to warm, improved visibility for drivers, and safer conditions for students. This advance notice is to help families plan for the week.

🍎 Free breakfast will be available to all students each morning.

Please stay safe and warm. ❄️💙

The Brandywine Heights Area School District will be holding a Virtual Weather Day on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. Road conditions greatly vary across the District with some areas that are good conditions but a lot of others that are very snow packed and slippery.

• A Virtual Schedule will be implemented, beginning at 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM for all students K-12.
• We would ask that any student who needs extra assistance or support in the afternoon should please email their teacher to set up a time and virtual link to meet.
• BCTC students please monitor plans sent from BCTC
• For more building-specific information relative to schedules, please visit our website
• Physical Offices will be closed; however, office staff will be working remotely and will be available.
• After-school and evening activities will be evaluated and a decision will be made by 12:00 PM.

Snowy days feel like the perfect time to look back. ❄️

As part of our 70th anniversary, and with the help of the Longswamp Township Historical Society, we restored and digitized the only known copy of the District’s original dedication program. It offers a rare glimpse into the planning, pride, and purpose that shaped Brandywine Heights Area School District from the very beginning. Stay warm and take a moment to flip through this piece of our history: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/a17d0147a8.html#page/1
