Dear Littlestown High School Families,

Entering the month of May, we find ourselves in the final stretch of what has been a productive and meaningful school year. This is a time filled with both reflection and focus, as our students work to demonstrate their learning and prepare for the transition into summer and beyond.

A major component of May is our end-of-year assessment schedule. Students will be participating in a variety of important assessments, including Keystone Exams and Advanced Placement (AP) exams. These assessments provide valuable opportunities for students to showcase their knowledge, growth, and readiness for future academic challenges. We encourage all students to approach these exams with confidence, preparation, and a commitment to doing their best.

Alongside testing, our classrooms remain active with engaging instruction, final projects, and opportunities for students to apply their learning in meaningful ways. Teachers are working hard to ensure that the final weeks of school are rewarding, maintaining a strong focus on student achievement.

May is also a time when we begin to celebrate milestones. From recognizing student accomplishments to preparing for graduation, we look forward to honoring the hard work and dedication of our students throughout the year. More information about upcoming events and ceremonies will be shared in the coming weeks.

We ask for your continued support in encouraging consistent attendance, strong effort, and positive habits during this important time. Together, we can help ensure that every student finishes the year successfully and with a sense of accomplishment.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support of Littlestown High School.

Go Bolts!

Dr. Becker
