Dear Upper Moreland Community,
We have been informed by the Upper Moreland Police Department (UMPD) of a road closure on Davisville Road in the areas of York, Moreland, and Easton Roads near the railroad tracks. At this time, we do not have an estimated time when the road will reopen. In a message to the community, UMPD has asked drivers to avoid this area and use an alternate route.
Due to the closure and resulting changes in traffic patterns, families, staff, our high school student drivers, and our buses may experience delays in this area and surrounding roads this afternoon. Our Transportation Department has notified families through Here Comes the Bus that we may experience delays during dismissal today and will continue to provide updates through the app if conditions change.
Please stay alert and drive safely as you traverse the township this afternoon. We appreciate your patience as we navigate the changing traffic conditions.
Dr. Sue Elliott
Superintendent of Schools

Last month, UMPS welcomed author Hayley Rocco & author/illustrator John Rocco for a special visit with students!
The pair met with all grade levels, sharing their experiences as creators of children’s books, including "All the Books" & the "Meet the Wild Things" series. Hayley discussed her journey as a writer and the research behind their work, while John demonstrated how he creates illustrations by breaking images into simple shapes. Students were engaged and excited as they learned about the creative process and the power of storytelling.
Hayley & John are co-founders of Children’s Book Creators for Conservation (CBCC), which supports conservation efforts through storytelling and partnerships with organizations like Wild Tomorrow.
As part of a First Friday initiative, UMPS & UMIS raised funds for Wild Tomorrow and The Sloth Conservation Foundation. These contributions will help build a sloth crossing wildlife bridge, allowing students to eventually see the real-world impact of their efforts.
Special thanks to Mrs. Klein, UMPS Librarian, as well as staff, the Home and School Association, and Capricorn Books for helping make this meaningful and memorable experience possible! #UMProud
