PSSA Testing Information
During the month of April and May Coatesville Area School District’s third through eighth grade students will be taking Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) exams. These tests include both multiple choice questions and open-ended responses.
Our schedule for taking these assessments is listed below. Also included with this letter is Frequently Asked Questions, Code of Conduct for Test Takers, Calculator Policy, and Guidelines for Electronic Devices. I ask that you please review this information, and if you have questions about the PSSA assessments or the rules governing them, please feel free to contact me at (610) 383-6946 or lamothek@casdschools.org
ELA: April 24, 25, and 26
Math: May 1, and 2
Finally, we would like all students to perform to the best of their ability on these state assessments and we need your help. For them to perform well, I ask that they be well rested, eat a healthy breakfast, and be at school on time during the days of testing. Thank you for supporting your child’s achievement and growth!

Nurse's Corner
Just a couple reminders to families:
- Students should not be contacting families to be picked up when they are not feeling well. Students need to be assessed by the nurse and calls home will be made as needed. If families want to be called each time their student comes to the nurse, please email Ann Keenan, school nurse (keenana@casdschools.org). It is not standard practice to call home for non-urgent matters.
- Emergency Health Forms were sent home (lime green). If you did not complete the Emergency Health Information online, you must complete the paperwork and return it to the school nurse.
- Covid 19 is still causing illness and absences. Please continue to test and take precautions to avoid further spread. 5 days of isolation followed by 5 days of well-fitting masks is the current CDC guideline. (see below).
- The school nurse will be starting health screenings (Vision, Growth and Scoliosis). If your student has glasses, please make sure they have them for school.
Head Lice
We have had a couple cases of head lice at Scott. Please read the attached letter for more information.
