Superintendent's Briefing
Central Dauphin School District | December 2024
Student Advisory Committee Meeting
Superintendent Turman and Assistant Superintendent Box met with students from CDHS and CDEHS in the first Student Advisory Committee meeting of the school year.
These students were selected from each high school to assist the district leadership in creating a liaison between Administration and the student body through advocacy, communication, and feedback. Additionally, the students will assist in bringing access and awareness of district initiatives and services to their peers. The Student Advisory Committee will meet monthly with Mr. Turman and Dr. Box.
FLEXIBLE INSTRUCTION DAY (FID) INFORMATION
The Central Dauphin School District will be taking advantage of our Flexible Instructional Day, (FID), program as outlined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for inclement weather days. Please note that the district can only use up to five FIDs for the 2024-2025 school year.
Also, please note that not every inclement weather day may be used as a FID. In other words, we may still cancel school days during inclement weather, and we would need to make those days up on the school calendar.
Student participation is required for a successful inclement weather FID. By continuing education during these weather emergencies, it will allow us to preserve our vacation days as scheduled while keeping instruction moving forward.
Teachers will be conducting the day using an abbreviated schedule that will be shared by your building principal. Additionally, teachers and support staff will be available throughout the school day for assistance. Please reach out to your teachers and counselors with any questions you may have. Families will receive additional instructions from the building principal regarding individual school schedules.
