From the Desk of Mrs. Adelman - PSSA Information
March 31, 2023
Dear Warwick Parents,
This information within this letter provides an update to families regarding PSSA testing and scheduling in our school this year. The Pennsylvania Department of Education requires all school districts to administer PSSA testing for the 2022-23 school year. The Pennsylvania System of School Assessment is aligned with the PA Standards. The English Language Arts and Mathematics PSSAs are administered in grades 3 through 8 and the Science PSSA is administered in grade 4 and grade 8. The specific dates for the English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science Assessment are listed below.

Additional information from PDE is included below. The attachments contain general information on testing and outlines the electronics policy. Students learn all skills, concepts, and content necessary to take the assessment within their daily reading, writing, mathematics, and science instruction. These assessments are critically important; please encourage your child to do their best. The results will be one of the measures we use as we make curricular updates and revisions. Individual performance will be one of the factors we consider when determining which students need additional support or enrichment. The data will help us plan support for students who are not meeting the expectation of proficiency on the exam.
Each year there is a question regarding whether students must take the PSSA. A parent/guardian may choose to exempt their child from participating in the exam(s) if the tested content is found to be in conflict with their religious beliefs as per PA Code 22, Chapter 4.4. To exclude your child from taking one or more PSSA Exam(s), a parent/guardian must complete the following actions required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE).
1. Email the School Assessment Coordinator. For our school, please email Mrs. Adelman the School Assessment Coordinator, at aadelman@cbsd.org to request an appointment to view the exam(s) to determine if they conflict with your religious beliefs.
2. Report to Warwick at the appointed time and sign the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Confidentiality Agreement prior to viewing the exams.
3. Write a letter to the Superintendent of Schools for Central Bucks School District, Dr. Abram M. Lucabaugh, stating the specific exam(s) you want your child exempt from for religious reasons. Submit the letter to Mrs. Adelman, Assessment Coordinator, at aadelman@cbsd.org

Field Day Volunteer Information
Hello Warwick Families! Field Day is fast approaching on Friday June 2nd with a rain date of June 9th. We are looking for parents who would like to volunteer their time to come run a station on this fantastic day.
The time slots are split between morning (AM) and afternoon (PM). If you want to come for the full day, you can sign up for both time slots. It is also broken down by grades (K, 1-2, and 3-6) so you can choose which grade level you would like to work with.
We ask that you make sure you can be available both days (June 2nd and the rain date of June 9th) before you sign up for a time slot. We never know what the weather will bring at the end of the year.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Kelly Langlois at klanglois@cbsd.org.
