enrolled in the before school program on Mondays, we will be extending

We regret that if

able to add these staff delay days to your child's schedule as an
"extra morning" due to staffing constraints. If you
wish to add Monday mornings to your child's schedule on a permanent
basis, please call the office at 412 221-1980.

district.
If your district
delays by 2 hours, the Before School Program will

delays by 2 hours, the K-Plus Program will follow
your district's modified kindergarten schedule. Therefore, we

their child on Snow Delay Days.)

district cancels school, all
EDS programs will be closed on this day in your district. (A
credit for this day will appear on your next statement.)
