News & Announcements

Bethel Park Schools will operate on a two-hour delay Monday, Feb. 9, due to sub-zero temperatures, and a boil water advisory remains in effect for Neil Armstrong, Franklin, Memorial, Washington and Penn schools. Food service will continue as normal, with bottled water provided, fountains shut off, additional hand-sanitizing stations in place, and water systems flushed once the advisory is lifted.

Parents of children eligible for kindergarten in the 2026–27 school year are encouraged to register online at www.bpsd.org by March 27, 2026, in order to participate in required April kindergarten screenings at district elementary schools. Beginning in fall 2026, kindergarten will be full-day at Bethel Park Elementary School, and children must be 5 years old by Sept. 1, 2026, to enroll.

Out of an abundance of caution and in consultation with public safety officials, Bethel Park School District will continue to have Remote Learning Days for the rest of the week. Bitter cold temperatures and snow-piled and still dicey roadways continue to create unsafe conditions for students and school bus drivers, and safety remains the district’s top priority.

As always, during an RLD, students and staff work from home following the 2-Hour Delay schedule, and no transportation services will be provided to students attending parochial, specialty, or vocational schools.

The Bethel Park School District Board of School Directors recently approved an administrative recommendation to amend the 2025-26 school calendar to make up for the unexpected school cancellation on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025, caused by a severe winter storm.

Snow removal at all Bethel Park Schools, including at the BPHS campus, is expected to be completed late this afternoon. All scheduled after-school activities planned for Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026 -- including athletic contests, the school board meeting, etc. - will proceed as planned.

Due to forecasted freezing temperatures, Bethel Park School District will operate on a Remote Learning Day on Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026.

Unauthorized vehicles will not be permitted, and motorists should use alternate routes until work is completed. The status of Tuesday’s after-school activities will be announced tomorrow afternoon.

Bethel Park School District will have a 2-hour delay on Thursday, Jan. 22, 2026.

The Bethel Park Board of School Directors reorganized in early December, electing Buffie Faes as president and Christina Headley as vice president, welcoming new member Colleen Sokira, and swearing in all members before the Honorable Ron Arnoni. The board also announced a return to meeting on the third and fourth Tuesdays of most months, reappointed its solicitor, and released a preliminary 2026 meeting schedule.

All scheduled afternoon and evening activities in the Bethel Park School District will proceed as planned, despite today’s snow day that closed schools to in-person and remote instruction.

A team of Bethel Park students participated in a one-day educational adventure that challenged them to work together to solve problems and explore interactive museum exhibits focused on Pittsburgh history and culture.
