On Monday, April 20, 2025, the New Kensington-Arnold School District will be implementing a 2-hour delay for students. This decision has been made to ensure that our Teachers have the necessary time to prepare for the upcoming PSSA Testing, which is important for our students’ academic success.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we provide our faculty with this valuable opportunity to prepare.

Please ensure that students arrive at their bus stops or schools exactly two hours later than their usual times.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
