Ramadan Mubarak to our Muslim community members – may this holy month bring peace, spiritual fulfillment, and blessings to all who observe. 🌙

Keith Valley students had an incredible opportunity when they welcomed French CEO Anastasia from the Paris-based perfume company Sulékó! This hands-on cultural experience allowed students to explore the fascinating world of French perfumery. Students discovered the science behind perfume creation, how scents connect to memory and brain function, essential French vocabulary in the perfume industry, and the artistry of combining different essential oils. These immersive cultural experiences bring learning to life and create lasting memories for our students. Merci beaucoup to Anastasia and Sulékó for this wonderful opportunity, and a special thanks to the HHEF Professional in Residency Grant for making this enriching cultural exchange possible!

🚨 Schedule Confirmation 🚨 The Hatboro-Horsham School District will operate on a 2-hour delay schedule today, Wednesday, February 12. Morning childcare will begin at 8:30 AM. Please allow extra travel time and use caution when traveling to school. ❄️🚗

As wintry conditions occur through the evening and into the morning, we are closely monitoring the weather and its impact on safely operating schools. To ensure a safe arrival to school, we will operate on a two-hour delay schedule tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12. Our operations staff will be in early on Wednesday to clear the walkways and parking lots. If conditions worsen overnight and we are unable to prepare for a safe arrival, we will communicate this to staff and families no later than 6:30 am tomorrow, and shift to a full closure. Morning childcare services will begin at 8:30 am. School breakfast and lunch will be served. If the weather dictates that schools fully close, we will shift to a virtual learning day. This would mark our third emergency weather day, initiating a shift from a traditional "snow day" to virtual learning. Principals from each school have provided specific details to families about the virtual learning protocols. Thank you, and please be safe.
