Attention parents of students in grades 3 through 8. Monday, April19th is the start of the Language Arts PSSA Exam. This year all students in the district will be testing on their Chromebooks. In the past, computers were left at school to charge. However, this year is different, and we are asking for your help! Please remind and ensure that your student charges their computer this evening and prior to leaving for school Monday morning. This will ensure that your child’s exam will not be interrupted because of battery issues. Thank you for your help and have a great week!

Dear BEA Community: Here is an update on our Covid cases throughout the district. Currently there are 5 cases at the MS/HS over the past two weeks. Wingate Elementary has had 2 cases, while Howard, Mountaintop, and Port Matilda have zero cases. We have several staff quarantined because they were close contacts to positive cases. Thank you, Scott V. Graham Superintendent

Dear BEA Community: This is a reminder that the 2 hour delay scheduled for Monday, April 12 has been cancelled. School will begin at the usual time. The final two delays scheduled for April 26 and May 10 will still occur as planned. Last night, the Board approved opening the track and tennis courts on weekends through the end of the school year. We are working on times and Mr. Dyke will be getting that information out to everyone. I will be updating you on our Covid cases for the week later today or over the weekend. Thank you, Scott V. Graham Superintendent

From Saturday through Tuesday, 110 administrators,faculty, staff, coaches and bus contractors will receive their Covid vaccinations. Additionally, 46 faculty, staff, coaches, and bus contractors will receive their second vaccine this upcoming week. Including those who have been vaccinated on their own, we will have more than 160 of our employees and bus drivers vaccinated by the end of next week. Have a wonderful weekend and as always, I will keep you updated. Sincerely, Scott V. Graham Superintendent
