Check out this month's issue of the Title 1 Connections Newsletter.  You will find tips for parents, important reminders, and information about events in our schools.

The WBASD, in partnership with the Luzerne County Sheriff's Department, will be holding a special PAW it Forward Day to benefit the Sheriff's Explosives Detection K9 Unit. Students and staff are invited to unleash their wild side by wearing their favorite animal prints—leopard, zebra, cheetah, tiger, or any fierce and fun pattern! Just remember, all outfits must be school-appropriate.

To support our local K9 heroes, we encourage a $1.00 donation. Participation in Solomon Community Days is completely voluntary. Donations can be turned in to your homeroom teacher. Let’s show our wild spirit and PAW it forward for a great cause!

Wolfpack Robotics presents the 1st Annual Robo Rally on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 10 am - 3 pm at the Wilkes-Barre Area High School.  Learn about the different First Robotics Programs and how to start a club. Click here to see the full Robo Rally Event Flyer.

Parents and Guardians,

We hope you had a restful and enjoyable Spring Break! Tomorrow, we welcome our students back and begin the PSSA testing period. These assessments provide a snapshot of what your child has learned throughout the school year and are an important part of our academic calendar.

This week, we will be testing English Language Arts (ELA) on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

To help your student do their best, please keep the following reminders in mind to help your student(s):

Important: Cell phones and electronic devices (including iWatches, AirPods, and similar items) are not permitted in testing areas. Students will be required to turn in their devices at the start of the testing session and will receive them back once testing is complete. If a student is found with a device during the test, it will be confiscated immediately, and a security incident report will be filed with the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The student will also face disciplinary actions at the principal’s discretion.

We are incredibly proud of our students and the progress they have made this school year. We wish them the very best on the test and know they will do great!

Sincerely,

Mr. Correll, Principal

Parents and Guardians,

As you may be aware, students in grades 3–8 are required to complete projects associated with Career Readiness. For those who may be unfamiliar, PA Career Readiness refers to Pennsylvania’s state-level initiative aimed at preparing students for success after high school—whether through college, entering the workforce, or pursuing other postsecondary opportunities. This initiative is part of Pennsylvania’s Future Ready PA Index and aligns with the Career Education and Work Standards (CEWs), which are designed to help students develop the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to make informed decisions about their future careers. This week and over the Spring Break, we ask that you and your student review their student profile to ensure that all Career Readiness requirements for their current grade level have been completed. For your convenience, we have attached a Choices360 Step-by-Step Completion Guide to assist students who may need help logging in and reviewing their progress. The guide also includes a reminder of the specific requirements for each grade.

Thank you for your attention to this important initiative and for supporting your child’s future success!

Sincerely,
Mr. Justin Correll
Principal, Solomon Complex
