Today in first period classes all students will receive a paper that tells their PSSA Proctor and Location. If your teacher has not yet passed out the papers, now would be a great time! Teachers, if you forgot to get them in their mailbox, please send a student now. Everyone in the building will report to their PSSA locations today during 9th period and then on each PSSA day. Please remember that we start PSSAs next week and it is so important for everyone to show up on time each day. If you have any questions about PSSAs, please ask your first period teacher or your PSSA proctor during 9th period. We are so excited to see how you perform on these tests and we know that you will do your best!

The Dental Hygienist will be doing dental exams in the nurses office today for 205 students in 7th grade whose last name begins with A through R who have not already provided a report from their private dentist.

Students with last name S through Z will have their teeth checked next Friday, April 7th if they have not provided a report from their private dentist.

Passes should be given to these students during homeroom. The exam is very brief so be sure to arrive promptly in the nurse’s office for your scheduled dental exam. However, if you are scheduled for a classroom test during your dental exam, please see Mrs. Shannon to reschedule the time of your dental exam.
