Dear Pittston Area Families,
We would like to take a moment to thank you for your continued understanding, cooperation, and flexibility throughout this winter season. The recent stretch of snow, ice, and frigid temperatures has certainly brought many challenges, and we truly appreciate your patience as we’ve navigated delays, closures, and virtual learning days to prioritize the safety of our students and staff while continuing to meet the educational needs of all learners.
Through each schedule change, our teachers and staff have remained dedicated to providing students with meaningful, engaging instruction to keep learning on track. We know that these frequent changes can be difficult for families to manage, and we are deeply grateful for the support you’ve shown in helping your children stay connected and focused.
Please remember that if you ever have questions or concerns about instruction or scheduling during weather-related disruptions, you are always encouraged to contact your building administrators. Consistent communication between home and school continues to be vital during these times.
Even with the challenges that winter brings, our goal remains to ensure that every student receives the most meaningful and timely education possible. The district also remains focused on maintaining a careful balance between snow days and virtual learning days as needed for the remainder of the winter season, so that we can continue prioritizing both safety and academic progress. State testing windows and supports for students are considered in our decision-making process during weather-related disruptions to ensure our ongoing efforts to monitor and promote academic progress remain on track.
Thank you again for your patience, partnership, and commitment to the Pittston Area School District.
John A. Haas, Assistant Superintendent
