2017 Annual Report to the Community
The primary focus of the Dallastown Area School District is on its students and the academic and instructional program in which each student is engaged. Certainly, we strive to accomplish that mission within an efficient and effective manner, mindful of fiscal constraints. Although the current economic climate presents fiscal challenges, our district has been able to provide a rich, stimulating, and relevant educational environment for its students.
We are pleased to share our Annual Report brochure and invite the public to access the entire report found on the district website. In it, you will find information about the progress that we are making towards meeting the various accountability measures at the state and federal levels. Additionally, the report provides facts, figures, and trends about other data that may be of interest.
Meeting the educational needs of the 21st century student is both exciting and challenging. These students will face a world in which "change is a constant." New skills, new methodologies, new technology, and high expectations for efficiency will emerge at a fast rate. This report highlights some of the ways in which we are preparing the students for the world which is on the horizon for them.
We are proud of the relevant, vigorous, and comprehensive program presented to our students. You will find that the report confirms that student achievement remains strong, and we hope you find the report informative.

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 9th. Additionally, students in grades 4 and 8 will participate in the PSSA Science assessment during the week of April 23rd.
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.
