Inclement Weather Information
During the school year, there may be times when Bishop Shanahan will close as a result of weather related conditions. Bishop Shanahan is serviced by multiple school districts and the decision to have a weather related early dismissal will be made by the school districts, and students will be dismissed in accordance with their district decision. The students will be transported by their school districts at the time determined by the buses arriving at Bishop Shanahan. If it is determined that student drivers should be dismissed at a time earlier than their school district dismissal you will receive notification via School Messenger.
Bishop Shanahan encourages parents to visit shanahan.org for emergency closing information. In the event that school may be closed because of an emergency or because of inclement weather, parents will be sent a message through School Messenger.
If your student drives to school or is driven to school, please fill in the attached form (click here) to inform the school of your requested transportation arrangements in the event of a weather related early dismissal. In the event of a weather related early dismissal, all phone calls for a student to leave the building earlier than their school district time should be made to 610-343-6248. This line is only checked on the days of weather related early dismissal situations.
