Community Letter 9/3/2021

The first week of school at Towanda Area School District has been a big success. Having our students back with us in person has been great! As I have said numerous times, having them in school with us is what is best for them socially, emotionally, physically, and academically.
As you are aware, on Tuesday August 31, Governor Wolf announced a mandate that requires face coverings to be worn by students, staff, and visitors inside school buildings beginning Tuesday, September 7. The Order was issued through the Department of Health under the Disease Prevention and Control Law, which grants it the power of a law.

Message from Mr. Peachey

This afternoon Governor Wolf announced that masks must be worn indoors at school beginning Tuesday, September 7th. I understand that this may be upsetting for many of you. Please know I share in that frustration. But, I ask that you do not make any educational decisions at this point. It has been great having our students back this school year, which is where they need to be. I feel strongly that being in school is what is best for our students physically, socially, emotionally, and academically. Please give me a chance to process this latest development and its impact on our school district. I will get additional information out to all of you over the next day or two. At this point, until Tuesday September 7th, masks are still optional in our buildings. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We will get through this. Please continue to check our website and Facebook page for updates. Feel free to contact your building principal with any questions or concerns.
