This year Eisenhower will be administering the PSSA test online. Students will take the PSSA tests in April and May. There are many advantages to taking the PSSA online:
Increases student engagement in the assessment process.
Enables students to interact with the tests using built-in features, including highlighters, calculators, and review tools.
Students have opportunities to develop a level of comfort by practicing the utilization of these tools prior to taking any test.
Allows students to start testing more quickly because of the opportunities to become familiar with the testing tools and that test directions are shorter than with paper tests.
Makes assessments more accessible for diverse student populations. • Enables a more authentic expression of modern writing than handwritten essays, and for many students, typing is less fatiguing than handwriting.
Provides a consistent testing engine across all Pennsylvania testing programs (PSSA, Keystone Exams, and Classroom Diagnostic Tools).

We know life can be full of changes. If your contact information should change, be sure to be proactive and take steps to stay in the loop! We would like to offer the following reminders:
You can always update your contact information in the parent portal, which will allow you to continue to receive notifications (if you are signed up for them) specific to your child(ren).
For the BrightArrow mass notification system, you must contact the school to change your contact information. You may add an additional email address or phone number from the BrightArrow section of the parent portal, but you can not change existing information from there. You must contact the school.
We take communication with our families and stakeholders very seriously. We hope you are enjoying our monthly e-newsletters which are packed with valuable and interesting information. The calendar and “upcoming events” section on the district website are another great resource to see what events and meetings are taking place around the district. You can even subscribe and import events directly into your personal calendar!
Stay connected! We are all in this together!
