Announcements
Media sources have released that the Department of Health has issued a warning of a possible measles exposure at select locations in Shippensburg and Chambersburg. Shippensburg Area School District has NOT been contacted by the Department of Health nor is this event listed on their web page. We have no reason to believe that this incident involved a district student. With the extra time provided by the snow days, the district custodial staff was able to thoroughly clean and disinfect classrooms. We will continue to be diligent in our cleaning of the buildings, however, measles can be spread through coughing and sneezing as well. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your healthcare provider. Additional information regarding measles can be found on the PA Department of Health website at http://www.healthstate.pa.us/pdf/epi/MeaslesFactSheet.pdf
The Budget and Finance Committee of the Shippensburg Area School District will meet on Wednesday, February 4, 2015 in the Conference Room at the Shippensburg Area School District’s Administration Building, 317 North Morris Street, Shippensburg, PA 17257.

SAT cancelled on Saturday January 24th at SASHS due to pending storm. College Board has rescheduled this testing administration for Saturday, February 7th at SASHS. Students will be notified individually by College Board.

January is School Director Recognition Month
Have you thanked a school board member lately? January is School Director Recognition Month, a recognition that honors members of local boards of education for their commitment to provide quality public education for Pennsylvania’s school children.
School directors generously contribute their time and talents toward the advancement of public education. They establish policies that provide the framework for our public schools. They represent their local communities and attend sometimes lengthy and challenging meetings, conferences and institutes for professional learning and understanding of public education.
These dedicated volunteers reside in our community. They are our friends, neighbors, community leaders, parents and engaged senior citizens. Although communities make a special effort to show appreciation to school directors in January, their contribution is a year-round commitment and deep appreciation is extended to them always.
Take this opportunity to help acknowledge our public servants who make the time to share their vision and voice about the future of Pennsylvania children.
The Board of School Directors for the Shippensburg Area School District are:
Mr. Herbert Cassidy, Board President
Mr. Greg McMullen, Board Vice-President
Mr. Andrew Alosi
Mr. Dwayne Burt
Mr. Mark Buterbaugh
Dr. Thomas Enderlein
Mr. Donald Hilbinger
Mrs. Marlyn Reed
Mr. Charles Suders
