Lancaster County School District

We’re proud to recognize Melinda Parker, attendance clerk at Heath Springs Elementary School! Your work helps staff stay informed, and families stay connected. Thank you for being part of the team supporting our students each day.

The details matter—and so do the people taking care of them. Thank you, Sherry Barrett at Discovery School, for supporting the important daily work of school attendance. Join us in showing some appreciation!

The District is thrilled to announce that due to a recent change in legislation, all Indian Land and Van Wyck area school students will now receive free breakfast for SY 26-27. Also, any breakfast purchases made from August 3, 2026 until September 18, 2026 will be credited to that student's meal account.

All other area schools will continue to receive free breakfast through our Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), as they have before. Point of Sale Transactions were made free to students on Monday, September 21, 2026.

Please contact Food Services if you have any questions or concerns.
