This is just a reminder that tomorrow, May 16,2023, is an Act 80 day for all students in grades 6-12. Middle/High School students do not have school tomorrow. Lenkerville Elementary students are following a normal schedule.
And so it begins....Topsoil is being removed this morning as our Elementary School Project has begun!
Attention parents,
Beginning on Monday, May 15, 2023, and continuing through Tuesday, May 23, 2023, many of our students will be taking the Keystone Exams in Algebra, Literature, and Biology.
TESTING SCHEDULE
Keystone Algebra Exam – May 15 and May 17 (students in 8th Grade Algebra, Algebra 1-B, Algebra 1)
*Reminder – There is no school for students on Tuesday, May 16, 2023.
Keystone Literature Exam – May 18 – 19 (students in Biology 1)
Keystone Biology Exam – May 22 – 23 (students in English 10)
These exams are required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for all students in public school. The exams measure proficiency in these three academic areas. Students must pass the Keystone Exams in order to graduate. Students who are not proficient on the Keystone Exam will take a semester Keystone course during the 23-24 school year to prepare to take the exam a second time. Students who are not proficient the second time will need to meet their graduation requirement through one of the other pathways to graduation listed under Act 158. The most direct pathway to graduation proficiency is to pass the Keystone Exams.
For the next two weeks I'm asking you to help your son/daughter prepare for these exams by making sure they get plenty of rest, eat a good breakfast, and are present on the day of their exams. The exams will be given during the first three periods, so it is very important for students to arrive on time.
If you have any questions, please contact the high school office.
Thanks, and have a great day!
Mr. Dave Shover, M. Ed
High School Principal

We'd like to thank Ashton Snyder and Doug Snyder from the Millersburg Fire Company for presenting an assembly this morning to the high school students. They presented a brief history about the company, and described duties and career opportunities in fire safety, rescue, and EMS/EMT. Ashton also met with HS and MS students during lunch today. We're hoping to get some students interested in starting a Club as a first step to becoming Jr. Firefighters.

Good afternoon,
As a precautionary measure, the Pennsylvania State Police advised Lenkerville Elementary School to shelter in place for approximately 30 minutes this morning due to police activity in the area of the school. Students and staff were permitted to move within the building as normal during this time, but outside access was restricted until the police activity concluded.
At the onset of the incident, a “lockdown” was announced but later changed to “shelter in place” after approximately 10 minutes. We praise our students and staff for responding quickly and appropriately to the announcement. Counseling was provided to anyone in need as a result of the initial response. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if additional support is needed.
Thank you.
April 19 is "Purple Day" in the Millersburg Area School District. Please wear purple to support our Military Kids!
Be sure to download our new app on your smart phone!
Report cards for the 3rd quarter are now available on the Student/Parent Portal in Power School. Students will be bringing home a letter today with Power School Login information. If you wish to receive a hard copy of your child's report card, you may request one from the office.
Good morning,
Millersburg Area School District received a Safe 2 Say tip this morning regarding the safety of the student that made the tip and mental heath of a high school student. The School Administration immediately contacted the Pennsylvania State Police. The Pennsylvania State Police met with the administration at the high school while staff and students were arriving to school today. The Pennsylvania State Police were able to locate the student off school grounds and are helping to provide the student the mental health services needed. The Pennsylvania State Police have advised the district that we may operate school as normal today.
Thank you.
