Facility Request
The Upper Dauphin Area School District (UDASD) allows its buildings and property to be used by staff and outside organizations when not in use by the District for its own programs. Persons and organizations using UDASD facilities must meet certain requirements set by policy and abide by those policies while using the facilities. To request use of UDASD facilities, you can complete an online request for facilities usage through ML Schedules.
Maintenance Request
Staff members may submit requests for maintenance as needed within the buildings and on the grounds operated by the UDASD. If there is a maintenance need in the school, please submit an online maintenance request through ML Work Orders.
Integrated Pest Management
Dear Parents and Guardians:
The Upper Dauphin Area School District uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach for managing insects, rodents, and weeds. Our goal is to protect every student from pesticide exposure by using an IPM approach to pest management. Our IPM approach focuses on making the school building and grounds an unfavorable habitat for pests by removing food and water sources and by eliminating their hiding and breeding places. This is accomplished through routine cleaning and maintenance. We routinely monitor the school building and grounds to detect the presence of any pests. The pest monitoring team consists of our building maintenance department, office, and teaching staff. Pest sightings are reported to our IPM coordinator who evaluates the “pest problem” and determines the appropriate pest management techniques to address the problem. The techniques may include increased sanitation, modifying storage practices, sealing entry points, physically removing the pest, etc.
From time to time it may be necessary to use chemicals to manage a pest problem. Chemicals will only be used when necessary and will not be routinely applied. If the situation calls for the use of chemicals, the school will try to use the least toxic product when possible. Notices will be posted in these areas 72 hours prior to application and for two days following the application.
Parents or guardians of students enrolled in the school may request prior notification of specific pesticide applications made at the school. To receive notification, you must be placed on the school notification registry. If you would like to be placed on the registry, please notify the district in writing. Please include your email address if you wish to be notified electronically.
If we must apply a chemical to control an emergency pest problem (ex. stinging insects), the school will provide telephone notification to parents and guardians who requested, in writing, for such notice. Exemptions to this notification include: disinfectants and anti-microbial products; self containerized baits placed in areas not accessible to students; gel type baits placed in cracks, crevices or voids.
Each year the district will provide a new notification registry. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Kenneth Wert, IPM Coordinator at 717-362-5468.
UDASD Facilities
The UDASD maintains two primary campuses-one in Loyalton, PA and one in Elizabethville, PA. Both campuses reside in Washington Township, Dauphin County. The UDASD uses a committee to manage planning efforts for building and grounds projects. The committee maintains a Facilities Plan and makes recommendations regarding associated capital funding to the School Board.
The Elizabethville Campus contains the Upper Dauphin Area High School as well as Trojan Stadium, two softball fields and practice fields for football and baseball.
The Loyalton Campus contains the Upper Dauphin Area Elementary School, Upper Dauphin Area Middle School and the District Administration Office. The campus also contains three playgrounds, a walking trail and substantial outdoor space.
In addition to the primary campuses, the UDASD also owns property across from the High School. Some of that property is utilized by the Building Trades program to construct homes.
The UDASD rents the Elizabethville Borough Baseball Field and maintains the property throughout the entire year.
