LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa.-- UPDATE (September 6): Manheim Central School District is set to dismiss multiple schools early again on Thursday due to high temperatures and humidity.
The school district posted this message on its website:
Greetings-
While I was hopeful we might be able to get a full day in tomorrow (9/6), the high temps coupled with the high humidity lend itself to concerns for our students and staff.
As we have been making decisions the past two weeks, I have used the chart below as a reference. Any time you get into the last two categories (orange and red), I have concerns for the well-being of our learners. At the time of this communication, tomorrow’s temperatures are projected to be at 91 with over 75% humidity. Thus, we are going to dismiss early tomorrow for our High School and HC Burgard Elementary learners.
We will follow similar suit for after school activities: move practices/games to 6 PM, move practice to an indoor climate controlled facility, or cancel altogether. A message from your son or daughter’s coach will be forthcoming.
I sincerely appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate the weather. I am confident we will resume normal activities by Friday. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please be in touch with your son or daughter’s building principal. I welcome any questions or concerns as well.
Take care- pja

Greetings-
While our first week went well, it was a week of school like I have never experienced!
The weather forecast for this week does not look good. In fact, we potentially face hotter temperatures than we did last week. While our weather-related decisions only impact our students at HCB and the HS, I wanted to keep you all in the loop.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 4, 2018, the High School will be dismissing at 11:05 AM. HC Burgard will dismiss at 12:00 PM.
After school activities will either be rescheduled until 7 PM, moved to an indoor climate-controlled facility, or canceled. If your son or daughter is involved in an after-school activity, please be on the look-out for an announcement from his or her respective coach.
The weather looks similar for Wednesday. We will make a decision for Wednesday no later than 5:30 PM on Tuesday.
I appreciate your understanding as we navigate the unpredictable weather. Should you have any questions, please be in touch with your respective building principal. Take care - pja
