Dear Fort Families,

June has finally arrived! We were very fortunate this week to have a visit from Governor Josh Shapiro. Governor Shapiro spent time serving breakfast to our students and greeting children throughout the school. It was a truly amazing experience for both our staff and students.

Our 1st grade students enjoyed a beautiful day on Friday at Elmwood Park Zoo and had a blast. Our 2nd grade students spent the day in Philadelphia exploring The Franklin Institute. A fun time was had by all of our 1st and 2nd grade students. Thank you to all of the parent chaperones who were able to attend and help make these trips such a success.

As we move into the final two weeks of the school year, now would be a good time to look for any items in the Lost and Found. At the end of the year, all items remaining in the Lost and Found will be donated to charity.

I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather this week. We are looking forward to our last 10 days of school. Summer is almost here!

Sincerely,

Mr. Mac
Fort Washington Elementary School
Principal

On May 20, our Teaching and Learning Office hosted Middle School Math to help parents/guardians with students currently in grades 5-7 understand expansions to our middle school math program for the 2026/27 school year. For those who were unable to attend in-person, a recording of the presentation is now available.

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.
