Dear Parents/Guardians,

The students at Brandywine Heights Intermediate and Middle School will soon be participating in the Pennsylvania School System of Assessment, PSSA.  These tests assess if the students are learning the state academic standards.  Below is a schedule of the 2022 testing dates for the Elementary School.  

April 26-28:  4-8 grade students will be taking the English Language Arts (ELA) Assessment 

May 4-5: 4-8 grade students will be taking the Mathematics Assessment

May 11: Only students in grades 4 and 8 will be taking the Science Assessment

It is important to have your child arrive on time as testing will begin promptly at 7:55 for MS students and 8:55 for IS students.  Once our testing has begun, we would not be able to administer the test to your child for that day if he or she should arrive after that time.  Your child will then be administered the test on an alternate day.  We do not want to interrupt the testing concentration of your child’s peers or the standardization of the test administration.  They will stay in an alternate location until their class has completed testing for that day.  Below are a few tips to make sure your child has a successful testing experience.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact your school counselor, Mr. Larry Schumacher for Middle School at larsch@bhasd.org or Ms. Heather Kulp for the Intermediate School at heakul@bhasd.org.

Sincerely, 

Mr. Robert C. Farina 

 Principal
