Peters Township School District Needs Volunteers

Peters Township School District is seeking volunteers for two committees.

The first is the Pennsylvania Common Core Standards Committee.

The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers.

The State Board adopted Common Core Standards in July 2010. Since that
time, the decision was made to craft a set of Pennsylvania Common Core Standards in English language arts and mathematics.

A committee will be formed to review the implementation of the Pennsylvania Common Core Standards. The first committee meeting will be held at 10 a.m. June 19 in the district's board room.

Those interested in being a part of this meeting should contact Dr. Patricia Kardambikis at 724-941- 6251 x 7298 by May 31.

The Peters Township School District is also looking or community members, parents and staff members to be part of the Coordinated School Health Advisory Committee.

The committee's focus this year will be directed to the human growth and development and sexuality units.

The first committee meeting will be held at 10 a.m. June 13 in the board room. If you are interested in being a part of the Coordinated School Health Committee, contact Kardambikis at 724-941-6251 x 7298 by May 24.
