Beginning in the middle of this month, all students in 7th and 8th grade will begin taking the PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment). It is critical that your child is in school and present on time every day, but especially the dates of testing. Additionally, please be mindful of scheduling appointments during these dates. We will test primarily in the morning, but when a student begins taking the test, we are not easily able to remove them from that testing session.

Below are the dates the exams will be administered to students, as well as information regarding the test. Please contact us in the school office at 717-273-3515 with any questions or concerns.

Following a fantastic 3rd marking period, qualifying students participated in our Marking Period 3 PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention & Support) reward - "The Price is Right". Hosted by Mr. Bleyer, students had the opportunity to participate in our own version of the classic game show and win prizes. Each day, we strive for our students to follow PBIS expectations and Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe.

After PSSA, the month of May will kick off with our "One Book, One School" program, when all students read the same book as a school. This year's book is "Restart" by Gordon Korman. "Restart" is the story of a boy who loses his memory after an accident. The question he has for himself is who he was before and who he will become. Please encourage your child and discuss the book with them when we begin! You can also get some additional information in the "Media Center" newsletter above.

Reminder that we use the Safe2Say program in our school district. It is an anonymous reporting program that helps keep our schools and communities safe. Anonymous tips about concerning behavior, threats, bullying, or individuals who may be at risk at any time. Tips can be made 24/7 through the Safe2Say website, mobile app, or by calling 1-844-SAFE2SAY. School staff receives those reports and immediately follows up to ensure safety and support for students.
