Due to a mechanical issue (well pump) in the school building, the DAMASCUS AREA SCHOOL will operate on a Flexible Instruction Day (FID – virtual learning) on Friday, February 13, 2026.
Damascus students should not report to school on this day. Instead, they will complete their instructional activities and assignments from home via remote learning. It is anticipated that the mechanical issue will be resolved and school will resume normal procedures on Tuesday - February 17, 2026, following the holiday weekend.
This communication DOES NOT impact any other Wayne Highlands school. All schools, other than Damascus, will operate normally (to include transportation), on Friday - February 13, 2026.
An Important Message from Superintendent Frigoletto (02-12-2021)
February 12, 2021
Dear Parents/Guardians:
In an effort to provide clear communication, please see below.
1. Please be reminded that we are off on Monday for Presidents' Day.
2. As per the current forecast, the weather has the potential to be problematic next week. We still have one "snow day" left and our intention is to use it if/when needed.
3. Due to the weather forecast for next week, there is the potential for a remote learning day. Students are being instructed to leave school today prepared. Even though we still have one snow day left, we need to be prepared, reminded that sometimes these storms turn into multiple day events.
4. In the event that we have bad weather on Tuesday, February 16, we would use our last "snow day", closing school.
5. Any weather-related closure after that will result in a "Remote Learning Day".
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks for your continued support.
Enjoy your weekend and stay well!
Sincerely,
GREGORY FRIGOLETTO
District Superintendent
