Last weekend, Dallastown Area High School hosted its 3rd Annual Mini-THON® with students on their feet from Friday night through Saturday morning. The fundraiser brought in more than $60,200 for the Four Diamonds Cancer Research Foundation.

We extend a Wildcat thank you to students, teachers, staff, volunteers, school board members, and administrators for their participation and support.

More than 90 students from neighboring York County schools, including Dover, Red Lion, Spring Grove, Susquehannock, West York, and William Penn, are registered to participate in the Dallastown Area High School 25th Annual Physics Olympics being held at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 14th, and Wednesday, March 15th, in the high school
auditorium, cafeteria, front lobby, and science wing.

 

Sponsored by the Engineering Society of York, the event is just one in a series of Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) events in the high school.

   

Volunteers, Are You Approved?  

As the end of the school year quickly approaches , the number of volunteer opportunities increases. If you are a volunteer in the district, take a look to confirm that your name appears on the Approved Volunteers Roster.

If you don't find your name on this list, your volunteer file is incomplete and you are not authorized to volunteer. Contact the building secretary at your child's school with any questions regarding your volunteer status.

Early Childhood Pathway to Succes s  

Dallastown Area School District's Early Childhood web page provides resources toward early childhood success. Early childhood activities can have a lasting impact on brain development of young children. Reading to your child as little as 10 minutes each day can strengthen the child's readiness for kindergarten.

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.
