D ear Parents and Guardians:

The mission of the Hollidaysburg Area School District is to develop knowledgeable lifelong learners who are challenged to meet their individual potential. In order for us to accomplish this mission, we must build strong lines of communication between school and home. We do this through a number of ways including our on-line LetterGrade system, interim reports, regular report cards, and parent- teacher conferences. Another way in which we keep you informed is through district and school report cards.

Enclosed you will find the District and School Report Cards as required by the new federal legislation known as No Child Left Be- hind. All school districts must disseminate information to parents about the progress being made in the district and in all of the schools.

In these reports you will find aggregate data on student achievement at each proficiency level on the PSSA as well as disag- gregate data from the various required subgroups. The most recent two-year trends in reading and mathematics are included. Other pertinent information concerning student progress, resources, technology, and special activities is presented.

Please contact your building principal or your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns about your child's progress in school. You may also contact me concerning the information presented in this report.
