These are certainly unexpected and difficult times for everyone. We are very sad that schools in Pennsylvania were ordered closed and we unable to complete the school year in a traditional way. I want to thank our faculty, parents and students for their cooperation as we work together to provide educational opportunities for all students in a new way. All of our teachers have created Google Classrooms for their students. I highly encourage all parents to take advantage of the educational program offered by your child’s teacher. You either have received educational packets or have access to the materials through Google Classroom.
I also highly encourage all students to take advantage of the Imagine Learning program from home. Students will benefit greatly from using this educational program for 30 minutes a day. This wonderful program is on your child’s specific academic level. Click here to access the program.
