Oh Snow!

The conclusion of the kindergarten through grade 8 third marking period will remain Monday, March 27th.
Thank you for your flexibility regarding the school district calendar as we navigate the winter season.

As we move into the middle of March, our weather patterns have been highly changeable, with stormy and windy weather. So that we are prepared, weather emergency preparedness drills are held at the schools each year, including a tornado drill.
Should a natural disaster occur (i.e., tornado, flood, etc.), the decision to keep students at school will be based upon whether it is safe to travel in the area.
EVACUATION SITES
Primary and secondary evacuation sites have been established for each building. The specific site used in an emergency is determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the circumstances of the incident. Parents and guardians will be informed. Students will remain at the evacuation site until the emergency is declared over, at which time they will return to their respective building.
If students cannot return to their building, parents and guardians will be informed and your child will be released to the parent, legal guardian or individual identified on the School Emergency Card.
BUS EVACUATION DRILLS
Bus evacuation drills are held twice a year and were most recently held earlier in March.

It's PSSA Time
All students in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will take the English Language Arts and Mathematics
Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) beginning the week of April 3rd. Additionally, students in grades 4 and 8 will participate in the PSSA Science assessment during the week of May 1st.
During PSSA testing, each school has established its testing window and communicates those dates to students, parents, and guardians through school newsletters, parent letters, and each school's web page.
Just as parents help their child(ren) prepare for every school day, please help your child(ren) prepare for these assessments by encouraging them to get plenty of sleep the night before and providing them with a good breakfast on the mornings of the assessments. Results will be shared with parents when released by the state.
