Our school is taking part in the 2025 Pennsylvania Youth Survey (PAYS) sponsored by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. The survey will ask questions about the behaviors of students in the 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grades, including questions about school climate, mental health, violence, bullying, and substance use.

RED RIBBON WEEK PARENT INFORMATION

This year’s Red Ribbon Week theme is “Life Is A Puzzle, Solve It Drug Free™.” Think of life as a giant puzzle – each choice you make is a piece that fits into the bigger picture of your future. By making healthy choices and staying drug-free, you’re building a picture full of positivity, bravery, and strength. Together, we can create a beautiful, connected community where everyone thrives. Let’s start solving this puzzle – one healthy choice at a time!

The week’s activities will include a door decorating contest, signing a “BE DRUG FREE” pledge and week of spirit days!

Last week marked Common Sense Media’s Digital Citizenship Week, a national initiative celebrating how we help students think critically, act responsibly, and stay balanced in our digital world. The week provides a great opportunity for schools to highlight digital well-being, online safety, and media balance across classrooms and with families.

• Digital citizenship resources for family engagement
• Digital Connections interactive video series for families

The Request for Assistance Form should be completed if you have non-urgent concerns regarding an area of your student’s educational programming that may need attention from the school team. Submission of this form does not trigger immediate intervention, but it will alert the school’s MTSS team to review your student’s data and follow up with you regarding your concern.

Reporting Student Absences: Information on how to report student absences can be found under "Attendance Information" on our website.
