Dear Fort Families,

It is hard to believe that we are in our last week of school! I want to thank all of our families for their support throughout the year. We truly couldn't do it without you.

As we head into summer, I would like to remind families that student placements for next year have been finalized. We spend more than a month carefully creating balanced classrooms, and a great deal of time and thought goes into this process. Teacher assignments will be shared around the third week of August.

Please keep in mind that I will be unable to move students from their assigned class to another class. Changes of this nature create a domino effect and can impact other children who have been thoughtfully placed. Thank you for your understanding and support of this process.

Tomorrow, we welcome back our graduating Fort seniors for our annual Walk the Halls. This is always an emotional day as we see our seniors, who it seems were just graduating from Fort yesterday.

I would also like to wish the very best of luck to our 5th grade class as they move on to Sandy Run. We are looking forward to celebrating their promotion ceremony at 9:30 a.m. on Friday.

Fifth-grade families, please look for communication from your child’s teacher regarding Friday’s ceremony and car parade.

To the rest of our school community, I would like to wish you a relaxing and enjoyable summer. It has been an amazing school year, and we always look forward to welcoming everyone back in late August. I am so proud to be the principal of what I believe is the best elementary school in Pennsylvania. FWES FOREVER!

Sincerely,

Mr. Mac
Fort Washington Elementary School
Principal

As we approach the last day of school on Friday, June 12, please note that it will be an early dismissal day. Students will be dismissed at 12:15 p.m. Breakfast will be available, but lunch will not be served, as there is no scheduled lunch period on the final day.

If you are planning to attend classroom parties or events, or to chaperone (including with your own child) on a field trip, Tier I clearances are required. Clearances are valid for five years. You can find more details via the button below.

As the school year comes to a close, there are still a few meaningful ways to celebrate the people who made it special. Honor a graduate with a commemorative brick or paver at Upper Dublin High School. Say thank you to a teacher, staff member, or bus driver who made an impact on your child's school year with a Cardinal Kudos. Each honoree will receive a special UDEF certificate in recognition of your gift. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or recognizing someone who made a difference this year, your tribute helps support innovative learning opportunities for Upper Dublin students.

f your child will not be returning to the Upper Dublin School District for the 2026–2027 school year due to a family move, school transfer, or other reason, please contact your child’s building office before the close of the school year to inform them.

Upper Dublin School District is now accepting new student registrations for the 2026-2027 school year. Please visit our registration page for eligibility information, required documents, registration tutorial, before and after care information, and to access our registration portal, Infinite Campus.
