Due to a fire at the railroad involving heavy toxic smoke and current road closure of Highway 30 between North Platte and Hershey, we are asking that you pick your child(ren) up from school today at 3:30 PM. This would include any student who rides Floydene Dressel (Bus #19), Donna Streeter (Range Road & Hwy 30) (Bus #22) or Christy Schmitz (Bus #15).
At this time Karen Ditch, Amy Newton and Donna Streeter will run and deliver students south of Hershey.

SCHEDULE ALERT: Due to official shortage today, we will play the JH VB match vs Sutherland in A-B-C order today starting at 4:00 PM. Thank you for your flexibility in this matter today!! #PANTHERMOJO


Good afternoon Hershey Panthers!
We are monitoring the situation along Highway 30 at the railroad which involves a train car on fire with toxic smoke. After visiting with the National Weather Service, they confirmed the wind is moving in a N-NE direction which would pose no threat to Hershey or the Hershey School District at this time. The National Weather Service is monitoring the wind direction and if there would be a change in the wind direction in a manner that would impact our district, we would be notified immediately. We would then plan and communicate accordingly to keep students and staff safe. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we monitor this situation.
