Philly Catholic Schools Opening Late Monday

PHILADELPHIA — The Archdiocese of Philadelphia said its high schools, parochial elementary schools, and schools of special education in the city will open late Monday.

Those schools in the city are opening on a two-hour delay the day after the Super Bowl.

Suburban Archdiocesan high schools, parochial elementary schools, and schools of special education in the suburban counties normally follow the decision of their corresponding local public school district and submit their status independently, the archdiocese said.

In the event of a parade, the following will be in effect and has already been shared with all school administrators throughout the five-county Archdiocese:

• all City Elementary schools will be closed;
• all suburban Elementary schools will make their own decision to close or remain open;
• all Archdiocesan high schools will be closed;
• and all Schools of Special Education will be closed.
