State Police Presence
I wanted to make parents aware that the Pennsylvania State Police have informed Lower Dauphin schools that they are increasing their presence around our schools as part of a state-wide effort to have greater visibility. You may see a Trooper parked near the school more frequently. This is part of their initiative and not due to any particular threat. If you have any questions, please contact me at (717) 469-2686.
High School Orchestra Performance
We are looking forward to our visit from the High School Orchestra on Friday, October 12. If any families have a sibling playing in the orchestra, they are welcome to attend the concert that day. The concert will start at approximately 9:15.
Reminders from the office
Just a reminder that if you are picking up your child in the office at the end of the day, please arrive
before 3:15 p.m. so that we can take care of that prior to beginning dismissal. Thank you.
