*The  K-8 After School Enrichment Program and the Preschool  Program provide child care on most Early Dismissal Days, Staff In-Service Days, and Conference Days. The K-8 school day begins at 8:20 a.m.; the preschool opens at 8 a.m.  Dismissal is 3 p.m. for preschool; K-8 dismissal is 3:20 p.m. from Monday through Thursday and 3 p.m. on Friday (unless otherwise stated above). For school closings because of snow, listen to KYW 1060 radio or check the KYW website; our KYW school closing number is 1011. Rule of thumb – if the Philadelphia School District is closed, we are too
