Please note the two most common issues guardians are having when accessing Rooms are:
1. Current email address does not match the email in our student information system.
2. You must be listed as a guardian in our student information system. Access does not go out to emergency contacts, only guardians.
If you are a guardain and have not received an email, please contact your child's school to update that information.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ensures that all children with disabilities ages 3 years through 21 years residing in Pennsylvania have the right to a FAPE, including children with disabilities who have been suspended or expelled from school. The commonwealth shall make FAPE available to a child with a disability eligible under IDEA until the student turns 22. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, a child eligible under IDEA who attains the age of twenty-one (21) years may remain enrolled in their resident district free of charge until their 22nd birthday.

The inquiry portal allows parents to submit specific questions to DHS about their child’s PEBT benefits.

Descriptions of these two resources along with others such as the DHS P-EBT family hotline number are included in the Family Guide.

June is Internet Safety Month so we wanted to highlight an article that takes a deep dive into four of the most popular social media apps that students may be inquiring about or already using. Introducing your child to social media provides useful information about the risks and positive features of these apps. Parents will discover expert advice on how to develop ongoing conversations with children about social media platforms, the risks and benefits for teens with actionable steps on how to keep online safety top of mind.

For those who are unaware, there are a number of wildfires currently burning in Quebec, Canada. The smoke from those fires is drifting south to the United States, causing hazy skies and a decline in air quality.
Since wildfire smoke may pose health concerns to certain populations, the Warren County School District is following the recommendations based on air quality data provided by AirNow, the official U.S. Air Quality Index (AQI). The AQI is a color-coded index designed to communicate whether air quality is healthy or unhealthy for you and recommend steps to protect your health.
You may visit AirNow at www.AirNow.gov, enter your zip code, to see what the AQI value is.
The district and its schools will be following the recommendations based on the AQI through the remainder of the school year. Be aware that conditions may be different in different parts of the county.
