Notes From Our Principals
Hello to our students and families of 21st Century Cyber Charter School,
We hope you are all enjoying this spring weather we are having - we are looking forward to a great Spring season! With March having flown by, we are now in our 4th and final quarter of the 2021-2022 school year! Time has passed quickly, indeed!
With the final quarter of the school year, we have many events happening at 21CCCS. We will be hosting our testing locations all over the state of Pennsylvania and can’t wait to come out and see our students as we test for PSSA’s and the Keystones! Please be on the lookout for emails regarding testing details. We have many fun events happening around the state and many virtual events. Please keep an eye out for upcoming events by checking Moodle and the emails from your principals, academic advisors, counselors, or other staff.
Also, we would like to continue to provide reminders to keep students on track for the rest of the 2021-2022 school year. This spring weather is beautiful, let’s finish up our school work so we can enjoy it!
Make small goals - use small goals to work up to larger goals! If you feel a sense of accomplishment when finishing a task, lots of small goals will allow you to feel that even more!
Find YOUR point person - is there someone who helps you stay focused, on track, or in the game? Find the person who gives you healthy encouragement to finish your schoolwork! It could be your academic advisor, teacher, parent/guardian, grandparent, or someone else in your life!
Stay grounded - it’s easy to get swept up in everything going on. It’s hard not to! But, make sure you’re getting your information from reputable, trustworthy sources.
Best regards,
Principal Laidlaw & Principal Frank

- Plan how you will use your time - Make a schedule (either on paper, your phone, or use your google calendar).
- Set a daily goal - Reaching your goal helps to increase motivation and gives you the drive you need to persevere.
- Arrive a few minutes early to your testing location - This will give you a moment to relax before testing begins.
- Eat a healthy breakfast - Now is the time for cereal, milk, orange juice, yogurt, or whatever you like that is nutritious!
- Get plenty of rest the night before your test!
- Actively listen to all instructions before the test begins.
- Read all directions - Specific details are often in the directions.
- Answer the questions that you know first.
- Download a relaxation app.
- Do a memory dump - As soon as the test begins, jot down the information you want to remember on your scrap paper that you may likely forget.
- Most of all - Stay Positive!
We believe in all of you and wish you much luck with the upcoming testing and in Q4!
All the best,
~ Mrs. McCoy, Mrs. Moynihan, Ms. Cooke, Mr. Galiczynski, Mrs. Faust & Mrs. Thorne
iPad in an Instant
Pages is a word processing app that is available on your MacBook and iPad. It's one of my favorite apps because you can do so much more than just write! The first thing I do when I open a new file in Pages is turn the Document Body setting off - this allows me to place text, images, and shapes wherever I want them on the page. To turn this setting off on your iPad, tap on the more menu (the circle with three dots) and tap on Document Setup. Toggle the Document Body to off, so that it's not orange, and then convert to the page layout. Don't forget that you can find the text box, shapes, and drawing tools in the + menu. What will you create next?
