We look forward to sharing this proud moment with you as we celebrate the “bright promise” of what lies ahead for our students—from the halls of Cassidy to their future successes.

Dear Cassidy Families and Students,

As you know, the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remains our top priority. School District and City of Philadelphia officials have been working around the clock to clear snow and ice from roads and walkways to support a safe return to in-person learning.

As a result of this collaborative effort, all school programs and activities will return to normal, in-person operation starting Thursday, January 29, 2026. All yellow bus services will proceed as usual, although there may be delays on individual routes. Parents and guardians should plan for possible delays with the District’s yellow bus services. All athletic events and afterschool activities will proceed as scheduled starting tomorrow. And the District’s Central Office will be open during normal business hours.

As a reminder, Thursday and Friday will be half days (Dismissal at 11:09 AM), as schools will host report card conferences.
