Due to several factors, #SDoLPA will have a Flexible Instructional Day (FID) on Wednesday, Jan. 28. Grab-and-go lunches will be available for all students at any of these locations: sdlancaster.org/news/inclement…

Navigating school technology at home can sometimes feel tricky, and we are here to help. Below are simple instructions for caregivers to access our main learning platforms: sdlancaster.org/news/using-sch… #sdolpa #education

SDoL Alert: Due to ongoing snow emergency in Lancaster City and to give crews time to clear all streets, #SDoLPA will have a Flexible Instructional Day (FID) on Tuesday, Jan. 27: bit.ly/4t5WohU

SDoL Alert: Due to the winter storm, #SDoLPA schools and offices are CLOSED on Monday, January 26. If conditions persist, additional days this week will be Flexible Instruction Days (FIDs).

Please take a moment to review the following communication methods that will be utilized to relay information about any changes to the school schedule: sdlancaster.org/news/inclement…

Winter weather is expected! If schools need to close, we will call either a Snow Day or a Flexible Instructional Day, when students learn from home. Given the possible size of the coming storm, we may make different calls as the week goes along: sdlancaster.org/news/preparing…

The start of a new year often invites reflection. At #SDoLPA it's also a time to encourage students to think forward. At Wheatland MS, that reflection came to life through a 2026 vision board project: sdlancaster.org/news/looking-a…

At King Elementary School, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is not a one-day lesson. It’s a reflection of who the school is and who its students are becoming. sdlancaster.org/news/keeping-t… #Sdolpa #sdolproud #Lancasterpa

At E.R. Martin School, first grade classrooms recently transformed into something extraordinary. What began months ago as a research unit evolved into a museum-style learning experience where students became experts, storytellers, and teachers themselves: sdlancaster.org/news/from-rese…

At #SDoLPA, preparing students for the future begins long before they are asked to choose a career. It starts with access and meaningful experiences that help students imagine what is possible. That vision was on full display during Milestones Career Day: sdlancaster.org/news/opening-d…

This March, @McCaskeyHS will welcome a new full-time member of its school community. NADO, short for Tornado, will officially begin work as McCaskey’s facility dog, offering an additional layer of support for students and staff alike. #sdolpa sdlancaster.org/news/a-new-kin…

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, #sdolpa joined community members, educators, and leaders at the 38th Annual MLK Breakfast, hosted by the Crispus Attucks Community Center @millersvilleu: sdlancaster.org/news/living-dr…
