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.
Park Ranger Visits Local First Graders
Students at Stourbridge Primary Center have been watching a live video feed of a bald eagle nest in Hanover, PA. They were able to watch the pair of eagles lay eggs, watch the eggs hatch, and are currently watching the two baby eagles grow up. These first graders received an exciting visit from a special guest. Park Ranger with the National Park Service, Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, Susie Kaspar paid a visit to talk about the importance of our national bird. Ranger Kaspar shared photos, replica models, real bald eagle feathers, and tips about how to help our environment.
