Is DASD closing the schools in response to COVID-19?

We will continue to follow the guidance of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Health including the steps needed to keep our students and staff safe and healthy, which is always our top priority. The current risk level for our school community is considered low. However, if public health officials update our schools’ risk level, the school community can expect to hear an update from Derry Area School District regarding potential next steps. All decisions will be made in coordination with public health officials. Please take time to update your contact information at the local school level to ensure you receive any updated communications regarding COVID-19.
