Happy New Year! The start of a new year is a time for reflection and goal setting. Consider helping us reflect by sharing your feedback about district communications through the short survey linked below. Looking ahead, we are excited about the prospects and possibilities that the coming months hold for our students and school community. Our district remains committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every student can thrive academically and socially. May the New Year bring you and your loved ones happiness, health, and prosperity. Thank you for being an integral part of our school district family.

As your new Superintendent I've been trying to learn as much as I can about our students, staff, parents, and community. Just as I want to learn about you, I’m sure you’d also like to learn about me. If you have questions or want to learn something about who I am, please consider sharing through the survey below. Or, join me on January 24th or 25th at the Upper Dublin Public Library for a meet and greet!

The District is continuing conversations regarding the need for a transportation facility. During the January 17, 2024 Finance Committee meeting, the administration and representatives from ICS will provide a presentation, including a review of the steps taken to date and conceptual designs. The Finance Committee will then discuss next steps. The Finance Committee meeting will begin at 6:00 pm in the Cardinal Room of Upper Dublin High School.

Get ready for an entertaining night of slam dunks and exciting basketball as the Harlem Wizards take on our Upper Dublin teachers and staff on January 20 at 7:00pm in the Upper Dublin High School gym!

A sensory break room, sponsored by SPEAC of UD, will be available. The Upper Dublin Education Foundation (UDEF) and the Upper Dublin Education Association (UDEA) are teaming up for this fun-filled fundraiser, presented by Philly & the Burbs, benefiting the UDEF Educator Grants program and UDEA student scholarships. Join us for a night of fun and help support our school community! Purchase your tickets here.

The winter season will arrive soon and along with winter comes inclement weather. There is certainly excitement with the first snow flurries of the season and students anxiously await a "snow day"! As a district, we carefully consider each weather event, always with student safety foremost in our minds. Before making decisions, we consult with Upper Dublin Township officials to review road conditions and we pay careful attention to weather forecasts. When it becomes necessary to make alterations to the school schedule, we will utilize Infinite Campus (IC) to send emails, phone calls, and texts to alert everyone. We will also post any changes on our website and Facebook page. To ensure that you receive the alerts, we ask that you review and update your contacts in Infinite Campus. We will make every attempt to communicate changes as early as possible in order to provide you with time to make any necessary adjustments.
