PARENTS/GUARDIANS - ANNUAL UPDATE FORM
An Annual Update must be completed for each student before the start of each new school year. The purpose of this process is to help ensure that all student information is up to date and that families review certain policies and procedures each year. The Annual Update is completed online through the Home Access Center (HAC) and replaces paper copies that were sent home with students in previous years.
Instructions for completing the Annual Update and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are included for your review. Thank you for your attention and action on this matter.

A fun fact about myself is I used to have a woodshop and have made a lot of the furniture in my house. Sadly since moving to the Harrisburg Area, I have not been able to find a space to reestablish my shop tools.
Swatara Middle School Students Experienced Civics In Action
Swatara Middle School students experienced civics in action as part of a program started 59 years ago by Mr. Richard Bouder, retired Civics teacher (34 years) at Swatara Middle. Students spent the day at the Township Building and led the public meeting that evening. Superintendent Turman is the first CDSD Superintendent to attend the event with the students. Thank you to Mr. Bouder for starting this amazing grass roots program for the students and to Swatara Township Commissioners for hosting and encouraging our youth to participate in the civic process!
