Spring Break Starts Thursday! What Are Your Plans?

Check out our list of fun activities for the kids while they're off from school.

Radnor Township School District schools will be closed Thursday and Friday for spring break.

Spring break originally had been scheduled to begin Monday, April 14, but under changes to the district calendar approved by the School Board, students had to report to school on April 14, 15 and 16.

School will be closed on April 17 and 18 for an abbreviated spring break.

The last school day for students this year will now be June 17. Download a copy of the latest version of the school calendar here.
