All Philadelphia district schools will operate remotely Tuesday as the city continues to dig out from a weekend snowstorm, district officials announced Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The decision came \u201cout of an abundance of caution\u201d and to \u201censure the safety of our entire school community,\u201d including staff who commute into the city, district officials said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The district\u2019s early childhood centers and its central office will also operate remotely Tuesday, and all after-school programming is cancelled.<\/p>\n

The remote learning day comes after a district-wide snow day on Monday. School leaders said they could give students and staff the day off because they had allotted an extra instructional day for the 2025-26 school year calendar beyond the state\u2019s requirement for 180 instructional days.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia received more than nine inches of snow on Sunday, followed by freezing rain and dangerously cold temperatures, according to the National Weather Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n
