During this time, we can all understand how difficult it is to be a parent, student, community member and/or educator. Inevitably, there will be rumors and possibly inaccurate information within the community and on social media.
The District is receiving updated information from the Pennsylvania Department of Education who is collaborating with the Department of Health, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, county municipal health departments and others to ensure the most current and accurate information and resources are available for our school district.
Utilize this webpage as your source for timely and accurate district Information. We will make resources available and information will be updated through this page. In addition, the Skylert Messaging system, as well as local media outlets will be utilized as necessary.
We will be in direct contact with parents, students, and district employees with timely and accurate information when it becomes available.
Update September 3, 2021
Effective Tuesday, September 7, the Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Health Order requires face coverings to be worn in all school entities until further notice. This order was intended to ensure that schools can continue to offer in-person instruction and keep students and staff healthy in the midst of an aggressive variant of COVID-19.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health will continue to evaluate community transmission rates, vaccination data, and other indicators, and will use this information to inform decisions about the Order’s statewide application going ahead.
The Department of Health will provide us with an update on the Order by October 1, 2021.
To clarify components of the Order, we have added to and adjusted some of the
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) we originally distributed on Tuesday. Please reference these FAQs to ensure your school entity is fully implementing the Order, including with respect to targeted exceptions to the Order.
Thank you,
Brian Costello
