Attention Parents, Guardians, LCs, and Students!
As we continue our efforts to create a more engaging and enriching educational environment for our students through our Comprehensive School Improvement (CSI) Plan, we have several exciting opportunities for you to share your thoughts and ideas with us.
PSSA and Keystone testing assignments have all been sent out through email. If you are unable to find this information in your inbox, please search for "ISPA Testing" in your spam/junk folder or your child's email.
All families must click the “Click here to RSVP” link in the email from Testing Nirvana to indicate if you will be attending. Any students who do not attend their scheduled testing dates will receive unexcused absences for these days.
After clicking the RSVP link, you will have the option to confirm or not confirm. If you select “not confirm”, you will be asked to choose a reason from a drop down menu and will be contacted for more information.
Questions about state testing? Contact Nichol Laskey at nilaskey@insightpa.org.

What is Title I?
Title I, Part A of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), is a federal program that provides financial assistance to schools. This funding is used to provide additional academic support and learning opportunities for students at schools with high percentages of economically disadvantaged children. The program is intended to help ensure that all students meet or exceed challenging state academic standards.
The goals of Title I are to:
- Increase academic achievement
- Provide direct instructional support to students
- Provide professional development for teachers
- Promote parent and family education and engagement
Parent and Family Engagement
Insight PA believes that Parent and Family Engagement is of paramount importance to student success. Every Title I school, in collaboration with parents, must prepare a school level Parent and Family Engagement policy. The Parent and Family Engagement Policy describes how the school will involve families in an organized, ongoing, and timely way, in the planning, review, and improvement of the Title I program at their school.
Right to Know
This letter lets you know about your right to request information about the qualifications of classroom staff working with your child and information about student assessments given during the school year.
