May 11 marks the mid-marking period of the fourth quarter. We can see the light at the end of this crazy year. But there are still some important tests to be completed.

The Keystone testing window starts May 17 and continues through May 28. If your student is scheduled to take the tests, encourage them to get enough sleep so they can do their best.

Our younger Falcons are preparing to take the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment’s May 17-28 as well. Again, make sure they have breakfast and a good night’s sleep the night before. Most importantly, just encourage them to do their best. For many, this is their first experience and we want to be as positive as possible.
