The Hanover Public School District will administer the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) in April as outlined below:

Testing Dates Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 English Language Arts 4 sections April 14-17

Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 Mathematics 3 sections April 21-23

Grades 4 and 8 Science 2 sections April 28-30

Individual student test results will be sent to the school and maintained as part of your child’s school records, and copies will also be sent home. The building results from the State Assessment will be utilized to plan for your child’s education.

Please support your child in achieving the very best on the PSSA tests by encouraging him/her to get plenty of rest, eat a good breakfast, and arrive at school on time. Please attempt to insure your child is in attendance at school during the dates of these tests to maintain the integrity of the tests. No educational trips will be approved during the test administration days. If you have specific questions regarding the PSSA tests, please contact your child’s principal.

Thank you for your cooperation in this important event.

Sincerely, Susan T. Seiple, Ed. D.
