Due to a mechanical issue (well pump) in the school building, the DAMASCUS AREA SCHOOL will operate on a Flexible Instruction Day (FID – virtual learning) on Friday, February 13, 2026.
Damascus students should not report to school on this day. Instead, they will complete their instructional activities and assignments from home via remote learning. It is anticipated that the mechanical issue will be resolved and school will resume normal procedures on Tuesday - February 17, 2026, following the holiday weekend.
This communication DOES NOT impact any other Wayne Highlands school. All schools, other than Damascus, will operate normally (to include transportation), on Friday - February 13, 2026.
School and Community Partnerships
Wayne Highlands School District Superintendent Greg Frigoletto talks to PSBA CEO Nathan Mains about innovative ways the district has partnered with local organizations to make sure families have the resources they need, and in a collaboration with local businesses and a hospital, constructed devices to help protect medical personnel as they care for patients. Discussion also centers on remote learning through Google Classroom, teacher professional development, and what the end of the school year will look like.
