One Lancaster —
All In for All Students!





Lancaster County School District will be testing the employee Centegix Crisis Alert Badge system next week. The tests are scheduled to be held before/after school hours, but we do realize there may be students in the building. When the badges are tested, there will be extra lighting sensors. Emergency Services (911) are aware of the testing schedule, but they may dispatch resulting in emergency personnel/vehicles may be present at school drop off/dismissal. We do not want you to be alarmed. The schedule can be found below.
