Quaker Valley School District

In the Headlines:

• Camp Hill tops Quaker Valley in double overtime of PIAA Class 2A boys soccer title game (Trib HSSN)
• Quaker Valley athletes focus on sportsmanship at WPIAL summit (Trib HSSN)
• Will Bardenwerper: Was this the America our veterans fought for? In one elementary school, yes. (Post-Gazette)

As the temperatures drop and winter weather systems enter our region more frequently, we want to take this time to remind families of our alert protocols.

Families will receive texts, phone calls, and/or emails through our alert system. A follow up email will be sent out from the qvelink@qvsd.org email address. In addition, our district website, www.qvsd.org, is used to communicate delays and closings, as is the District’s social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram).

Quaker Valley also notifies three local news stations: KDKA, WPXI, WTAE. Please note that the District does not control how quickly the information is updated on-air. You may consider signing up for the electronic alerts through these stations.
