Subscribers will receive an e-mail every day at 5:00 p.m. when new information is posted in the “News” section of your child’s school.
If you have a student moving on to a new building, visit the district homepage and select the desired building from the dropdown. On the school site, scroll to the “Subscribe to E-News” section, enter your e-mail address, and click “Subscribe”. You may be asked to approve the subscription in a confirmation e-mail. The district does not have the ability to subscribe individuals.
If you no longer have a student in a particular building, you may unsubscribe from that building’s e-news, if you wish. Simply find the latest 5:00 p.m. e-mail and click “unsubscribe from this list” at the bottom of the message. The district does not have the ability to unsubscribe individuals.
Note: If you have students in more than one building, you will want to subscribe to each building, as each building shares their own building-specific news in addition to district-wide updates.

Summer Book Sign-Out & Reading Challenge for Rising 7th Graders
Posted by Brooke Fisher on 5/26/2023 11:00:00 AMWe are so excited to welcome incoming 7th graders to Centerville and Landisville Middle Schools next year! Research shows the benefits of being immersed in reading, which also helps with students’ writing skills. This summer, we want to encourage all of our students to read!
Hempfield is proud to offer books for rising 7th graders to borrow over break. Students are able to work with their current elementary librarian to sign out book(s) to read this summer. This flyer includes all books that are available for student sign-out. Students can return these books to their 7th-grade English teacher at the start of the school year.
Using the books offered on the list above, books signed out from a local library, or any other book of choice, rising 7th graders are invited to participate in the Middle School Summer Reading Challenge. Download the document here and return it to your ELA teacher during the first week of school for a chance to win a gift card!
Questions can be directed to Mrs. Lauren Lewis, Secondary English Department Coordinator, at lauren_lewis@hempfieldsd.org.
