"What's Next" event showcasing career services for those who have recently graduated or are approaching graduation. This event will be held at the Mansfield Fire Hall on Thursday May 21st, 2026 from 5:30-7:30pm.
Due to the storms last night the Wellsboro Area School District is experiencing a temporary network outage. As a result, the phones are also down across the district. We expect to have a connection back up as soon as possible.
Students in Miss Lancaster’s 3rd Grade class have been learning to read thermometers in both Math and Science class. Today they finished a Science investigation called “Build a Thermometer”. Students were able to observe expansion and contraction of liquid by creating their own thermometer’s as a tool to compare and read temperatures.
In using these tools, students were able to get a hands on experience and conduct their investigations to further solidify that liquids expand when heated (move up a tube) and contract when cooled (move down). Students marked the water level at room temperature, then placed the vials in hot and cold water to observe the liquid's movement in the tube.
Notice of board meeting date change. The meeting scheduled for June 9th has been moved to June 11th, 2026.
Today, our RLBMS 8th grade students participated in Mock Interviews and truly impressed our community partners! Students came prepared, dressed for success, and demonstrated professionalism, confidence, and strong communication skills throughout the day.
These experiences help prepare our students for future careers and real-world opportunities, and we are proud of the effort they put into the process!
A huge THANK YOU to the community members and organizations who volunteered their time to support our students:
Metalkraft Industries
C&N Bank
Tioga County Maintenence

The Second Grade Team had a wonderful day at the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center. The students represented our STE“A”M program with pride, demonstrating the many skills they’ve learned throughout the year, including their new art techniques. It was a joy to discuss the significance of the Gmeiner Center and tour the facility with the students. The high school students also enjoyed working alongside our second graders on hands-on, three-dimensional recycled sculptures inspired by Artur Gmeiner’s works. This STEM Career Grant collaboration was a fantastic way to celebrate Gmeiner’s mission and to connect everyone to the story of the Art & Cultural Center.
Today, our RLBMS 5th graders had an amazing day exploring Leonard Harrison State Park! Students enjoyed the opportunity to learn outdoors, take in the incredible scenery, and make lasting memories together.
A huge thank you to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for hosting such a great experience, and an extra special thank you to the sun for finally making an appearance! ☀️
Great day to learn, explore, and enjoy the beauty of Pennsylvania!
