Octorara Area School District

Dear Octorara Area School District Families,

Due to the recent snowstorm and the anticipated freezing of roads overnight, we will operate on a 2-hour delay tomorrow, Monday, December 15. This delay will allow additional time for road conditions to improve and for crews to treat and clear roadways.

The Midde School will begin at 9:45 AM and the Primary Learning Center and the Intermediate School will begin at 10:45 AM.

We encourage families to use extra caution while traveling. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure a safe start to the day.
