Beginning Friday, November 13 through Monday November 30, all instruction will be conducted online. Duing the time classes are being conducted completely online, no in-person student activities or extra-curricular events will be held.

As part of its COVID-19 mitigation efforts, Derry Township School District is currently operating under a hybrid instructional model that includes staggered in-person and online instruction for secondary students and half-day in-person sessions for elementary students. With the well-being of students and staff at the forefront and taking into consideration PA Departments of Education and Health guidelines, the district is also planning for multiple contingencies that will allow it to continue with a robust educational experience.
With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing new approaches to education, weโre more reliant on technology tools as part of instruction than ever. The DTSD Technology Department is here to provide support.
