The Hempfield Area School District has board policy – number 215, which outlines attendance and disciplinary issues. The district also publishes a handbook that outlines those attendance and disciplinary items in detail.

At Katherine Elementary School Dr Vandaveer has her own portable where she can test students. Her desk is in one corner and there was a kidney-shaped table with a few chairs on the side of the room.
