Home School is one education option available to students. For detailed guidelines, information, and requirements, please refer to the PA Department of Education’s guidelines on Homeschooling.
PSSA / Keystone Exams
PSSA exams are taken in grades 3 through 8. Keystone Exams are end-of-course assessments taken at the conclusion of Algebra 1, English 10, and Biology, regardless of what grade students are in at the time.
If you desire to have your child take the state PSSA tests or Keystone Exams with district-enrolled students, you must contact the principal of the school building serving your neighborhood. If you are unsure which building principal to contact, our Pupil Services Office (717-569-8231 x3043) can direct you. All requests must be received in the buildings no later than October 1 of each year in order to ensure testing labels and materials are ordered for your child.
