Transportation

For each student requiring transportation to Northwood Academy, please complete our Transportation Request form. If your child currently receives transportation services, there is no need to complete this form, as services will automatically transfer to the new school year.

Students in 7th and 8th grade are only eligible for a SEPTA Pass, unless indicated otherwise by the Special Education Department. If your child already has a SEPTA Pass from the previous year, it will automatically be activated for the start of the next school year. If you have lost your SEPTA Pass, please contact Ms. Mohamad (amohamad@northwoodcs.org) for replacement.

All requests are subject to approval by The School District of Philadelphia. Northwood has no authority over transportation routes or decisions.

Inclement Weather Policy

Welcome to the inclement weather information center for Northwood! Our goal is to lay out our process and answer some of your most frequently-asked questions, so you can be more informed on the how, what, when and why of our inclement weather decisions. Any school closures, delays, or early dismissals will be reported through the school website and local media outlets, as well as Remind alerts.

Any time there are questionable weather conditions, please visit these sites for specific information:

If the School District of Philadelphia public schools are closed, Northwood is closed. 

If the School District of Philadelphia announces an early dismissal, please consult either website above, listen to KYW Newsradio 1060AM or consult northwoodcs.org to find out if Northwood is included in the closing/delay. In the event of an emergency closing, families will be immediately notified by Northwood and asynchronous work may be assigned.
