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.

This year, we unite under the theme: Safe Stops. Stronger Communities. Every stop is a chance to protect lives. When we choose safety, we’re not just preventing crashes—we’re strengthening the very communities we love. Together, we can protect every journey, ensuring safety at every stop!
Every school day, millions of children take their seats on a yellow school bus—the safest way to and from school. Yet safety doesn’t stop at the bus doors. It requires every driver, every lawmaker, every community member to take responsibility. When red lights flash and the stop-arm is extended, we all have one simple choice: stop.
All students, faculty, and staff are invited to participate.
