Important Information for Parents All public schools participate in the annual Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) that are scheduled for various times in March and April of 2012. It is important for the consistency of the exam that all students are present on the exam dates. PSSA make-ups intefere with the academic process for students, so we ask that all parents avoid scheduling trips or appointments during the PSSA testing window. The link below provides the specific dates on which the PSSA exams will be administered, along with information for parents and guardians about the PSSA process. We appreciate your assistance.
