Dear Pittston Area Families,
As we get ready for winter break, I want to take a moment to thank you for all the support and kindness you’ve shown this year. Whether it’s helping with homework, showing up to events, or simply supporting from home, your teamwork with our schools makes such a difference for our students.
It’s been a busy and successful first 2 quarters at Pittston Area. Our students continue to impress us with their hard work, creativity, and care for one another in the classroom, performing on stage, competing in athletics, and giving back through community service. Our teachers and staff have gone above and beyond to create learning experiences that challenge and inspire. It’s truly something special to see every day.
As the holidays begin, I hope all of our Patriot families find time to rest, laugh, and enjoy being together. You’ve all earned it! Our schools will reopen on January 5, 2026, and we’ll be ready to start the new year full of energy and excitement.
Looking ahead to 2026, I’m excited for all that’s to come. We have an incredible community here at Pittston Area; one that looks out for each other, celebrates successes, and keeps moving forward together.
Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a bright New Year filled with hope and happiness!
