    How do I know if there is a school closing or delay?

    Watch or listen to KDKA for school closings and delays. Look and
    listen for "Pittsburgh Public Schools". You will NOT hear SPS.

    What time does school start?

    Students wait outside by the Kindergarten rooms in a line against
    the building. A bell will ring and we will enter the building at
    7:40AM. School starts at 7:50. If the doors are closed and every
    one is in, please go to the main doors and walk over. If it is
    raining or snowing, please wait in the cafeteria until 7:40 and we
    bring the kids up to the classrooms.

    What can I bring for a birthday treat?

    We love treats!! Please bring something easy for the kids to eat.
    Individual, pre-packaged is best! Little cup cakes are fine, but
    please NO regular sized cup cakes. They are so MESSY. Also, brownies
    are fine if you have them cut for me to pass out. I do not have a knife
    here to cut and serve. Please NO CAKES. Chocolate chip cookie cakes
    are hard for me to cut here. Chocolate chip cookies would be better.
    We also like drinks too! It is a nice treat instead of our usual water!
    I already have cups and napkins here for our regular snacks. YUM!
    We have a child in K2 with a severe peanut allergy.  Please try to find a snack
    that does not have peanuts in it.  A little dollar store treat is nice to give out
    instead of food.
