The Woodland Hills School District in Allegheny County has announced a delay in the start of the school year for Edgewood Elementary. The new scheduled first day of classes at Edgewood is now set for September 2, while the remainder of the district will begin classes on August 21.
District officials stated that the delay is necessary to ensure the safety of staff and students during ongoing renovation work at Edgewood Elementary. Renovations, which began over the summer break, are still underway and are expected to be completed before the start of the 2025-2026 school year. The delay aims to prevent any disruptions or safety hazards that may arise if classes begin before the completion of construction.
To facilitate student and parent engagement despite the delayed start, the district has scheduled Pre-K and Kindergarten Orientation at Edgewood Elementary on August 28. Kindergarten orientation will occur from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., immediately followed by Pre-K orientation from 11 a.m. to noon. Additionally, the district has rescheduled the Open House for Edgewood Elementary to October 30, allowing families to tour the facility once renovations are completed.
The delay at Edgewood Elementary is part of broader adjustments within the Woodland Hills School District. The district emphasized that these changes are focused on minimizing disruptions and prioritizing student safety.
In a related development, the Pre-K Counts program at Burchfield Elementary in Shaler Township is also experiencing a delayed start due to a state budget impasse. At this time, there is no confirmed start date for the Pre-K program, and district officials have stated that they will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available.
The Pre-K Counts program offers early childhood education to children aged 3-5, providing a foundation for early learning and development. The program is funded through various state grants, and delays in start dates have been influenced by recent legislative and budgetary issues.
The renovations at Edgewood Elementary are part of a long-term project aimed at modernizing the school facilities. The work began during the summer break and is projected to be completed before the start of the 2025-2026 academic year. This timeline is intended to minimize impact on students and staff while improving the school’s infrastructure.
In response to ongoing renovations, Edgewood Elementary will delay its reopening until September 2, with orientation sessions scheduled for August 28. The district’s overall start date remains August 21 for most schools. Additionally, the Pre-K Counts program in Shaler Township faces uncertainties due to state funding issues. The district continues to prioritize safety and minimal disruption as it works to complete renovations and ensure a smooth transition back to school.
