Derry Township School District will be holding an informational meeting for parents/guardians of township children who will be 5 years of age before September 1, 2020 and plan to attend kindergarten in DTSD this coming fall. The meeting will be 6-7 p.m. January 22 in the Hershey Elementary School Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) 1. Topics to be covered include an overview of our exceptional full-day kindergarten program, the school enrollment process, district food services and student transportation.
Based on a growing body of research on adolescent sleep patterns and the impacts to student achievement, Derry Township School District intends to revamp its school day starting with the 2021-2022 school year. While the district will be using the next two school years to fully develop the specifics, the intent is to analyze the research to better match the sleep patterns of our students.

All schools in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including DTSD, have adopted use of the โSafe2Say Somethingโ anonymous tip line as a means of improving campus safety and improving school climate. The tip line is operated and monitored 24/7 by the Office of the Attorney General where tips are reviewed, classified, and forwarded to the appropriate school district. Tips that are found to contain information that may indicate a "life safety" issue are immediately forwarded to the appropriate county emergency dispatch center.

The safety and well-being of our students is our highest priority. When conditions dictate unscheduled closings, delays, or early dismissals are in the best interest of student safety, the district will announce information via an automated phone messaging system, on its website and social media feeds. These district-operated notification tools are the primary mechanisms by which schedule change information will be communicated.
Online registration for student parking passes at Hershey High School is now open. Juniors and seniors wishing to park on campus must carefully review the “Student Driver Rules and Regulations Agreement” document that is linked on the parking registration site for complete parking information. Eligible and registered juniors and seniors will be assigned a numbered tag (for the lower lots or Pebble Beach), but not a numbered spot.
NOTE: You will be required to sign in to Google using your Derry Township student credentials in order to register.
If you have any problems or questions please contact Mr. Beard.
