COMMUNITY SUPPORTS EXPO 2023

Thursday, April 26, 6:30-8 p.m., West Short S.D. Administration Center

Childcare will be Available

The West Shore School District's Special Education Department is hosting a Community Supports Expo for parents with students attending West Shore, Cumberland Valley, East Pennsboro, and Camp Hill School Districts. Come speak with representatives from Arc of Cumberland & Perry Counties, Arc of York County, Easterseals, Include Me, Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, TNS Programs, and other organizations. Please click here to register if you plan to attend.

More information is available on the Community Supports Expo flyer attached below.

District administration has been working over the past year to identify ways to return our eastern elementary schools to an earlier start time. With the identification of an additional transportation service and new drivers, we believe we are able to move Hampden, Shaull, Sporting Hill, and Winding Creek Elementary schools back to a 9:15 a.m. start time, with an end time of 3:55 p.m., beginning next school year.

Please click the Quick Access link below to view the anticipated 2023-24 instructional day schedule by building for each school across the district. (NOTE: Hours in which the building is physically open and students are permitted to enter for the start of the day vary by building.)
