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.
America250PA Keystone Classroom Initiative
Damascus School - America250PA Keystone Classroom Initiative. The PA Commission for the U.S. Semiquincentennial (#America250PA) brought their storytelling and visitation program to Damascus Elementary School. Pennsylvania State Police joined elected officials, historical reenactors, local celebrities and mascots in visiting K-4th grade classrooms. Guests read from "K is for Keystone," a book written and illustrated by Pennsylvanians, and distributed America250PA gift bags that included the America250PA coloring book.
