Can you believe that the first day of school is fast approaching?

The school year will begin with an orientation day Aug. 26 for students in grades kindergarten, sixth and ninth only. The day is great for the students new to a building to get acclimated and learn the layout of the land without all the other students there. Plus, it’s only a half day! The high school and middle school will dismiss 12:15 p.m. and Harry S Truman and Western Salisbury elementary schools will dismiss 1 p.m. All students will attend Aug. 27 for a full day.

All township schools will be closed Aug. 30 and Sept. 2 for the Labor Day holiday.
