How Boyertown calls a snow day

How families hear

By text message, email, phone call, the district website, social media, radio and local TV.

“Because the distribution of messages through IC Messenger can take some time due to the volume of messages being sent, we will post a pop-up message to all district homepages and update the district's Facebook page and Instagram.”

Every closed day is made up

On the 2025 to 2026 calendar each day Boyertown closes for weather comes back later in the year, as set out under making up a lost day.

“There are no "Snow days" built into the 2025-2026 district calendar.”

Flexible Instructional Days

Boyertown has Flexible Instructional Days in its winter plan, up to 5 a year.

“The District can use up to five (5) FIDs per school year.”

Making up a lost day

Days closed beyond the FID allowance are made up by shortening spring break or extending the school year; no dates are named.

The Pennsylvania rule

How Pennsylvania counts a lost day

Pennsylvania requires either 180 days, or hours: 900 for kindergarten through grade 6 and 990 for grades 7 to 12, as the district chooses. The state forgives no days; districts are expected to build make-up days into the calendar for closures beyond any Flexible Instructional Days.
