PSSA Individual Student Reports
Dear Parents of a 4th - 6th grade student,
On Thursday, September 28 the 2023 PSSA Individual Student Report (ISR) will be sent home in a sealed envelope with your 4th - 6th grade child. The assessment was administered in grades 3-6 in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and grade 4 in Science during the 2022-23 school year.
If your child receives a blank report, that is in an indication that your child did not take the assessment. Additionally, you will not receive a report if your child was not a student at Groveland Elementary School during our last school year.
If you have any questions about this information, please feel free to reach out to me. We value your continuous support of your child's learning.
Sincerely,
Kelly Carter
Christie Corcoran
