PSSA Makeup Tests

Parents and guardians:

It it my belief that students should not come to school to take the PSSA tests if they are physically ill. Some children think they should take these high stakes test no matter how they feel, but they will perform better when focused, not sick. We will make arrangements for students taking makeup tests.
