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.
Once in the website follow the on screen directions and enter our specific school site code: 4203480
If you are unable to access the program, please contact your child’s teacher for assistance.
I would also like to thank our teachers and staff who have worked under unusual circumstances to provide our students with quality learning materials and to reach out to families while we have been out of school. Thanks also to our custodial staff and cafeteria staff who have been at school everyday working to provide meals and a clean environment. Their work in supporting our school community is greatly appreciated.

Yearbooks will be available for pick-up at the school in June. A specific date will be provided once yearbooks have been printed and received for distribution.
