Conemaugh Township News

The Conemaugh Township Elementary School has been named a 2020 National Blue Ribbon School. U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos recognized 367 schools across the country as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2020 on September 24, 2020. In the state of Pennsylvania, only 14 schools were recognized with this award. The recognition is based on a school’s overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. This is the second time the elementary has been recognized; earning this recognition more than once is extremely rare. The coveted National Blue Ribbon Schools award affirms the hard work of educators, families, and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content. Now in its 38th year, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed almost 10,000 awards. The elementary school received this prestigious award in 2010 as well.

Please do not drop off your child at the school before 8:30 a.m. Students may not enter the building in the morning before 8:30 a.m. due to supervision reasons.

Dismissal will begin at 3:25 p.m. for walkers with bus dismissal following. We ask parents to park in the parking lot outside of the gym. We do not permit cars to park in the fire lane or along the curb.

Please note that you must make all bus stop changes via a note you send in with your child in the morning. We will not be taking phone calls during the day to change a child's bus stop. If you absolutely need to make other accommodations, you may call the school to add your child to the walker list.
