PSSA Testing

Dear Parents,

     During the month of April, our seventh and eighth-grade students will be taking a number of Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) exams.  Our schedule for taking these assessments is listed below.   Also included on our webpage is general information about this testing - Frequently Asked Questions, Code of Conduct for Test Takers, and Guidelines for Electronic Devices.  I ask that you please review this information, and if you have questions about the PSSA assessments or the rules governing them, please feel free to contact me at 717-677-7191 ext. 2419.

     Finally, we would like all students to perform to the best of their ability on these state assessments and we need your help.  In order for them to perform well, I ask that they be well rested, eat a healthy breakfast, and be at school on time during the days of testing.  Thank you for supporting your child’s achievements and growth!
