As we prepare for another successful school year, the Windber Area School District is asking all families to complete our Annual Student Information Update through ParentSquare.
This brief form plays an important role in helping the District provide the best possible educational opportunities for all students while ensuring compliance with Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) reporting requirements.
Why Are We Asking for This Information?
Each year, Pennsylvania school districts are required to collect information that determines certain state and federally funded educational programs. This information helps ensure that districts receive the resources they are eligible to receive and allows schools to accurately report required data to the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Funding associated with these programs helps support educational services such as:
- Academic support and intervention programs
- Instructional resources and classroom materials
- Educational technology
- Student support services
- Other programs designed to improve learning opportunities for students
You will receive a message via ParentSquare with the form/survey.
Your Privacy Matters
We understand that the questions ask for personal household information. We want to assure families that all responses are kept confidential and are used only for educational reporting and determining state and federally funded educational programs, as permitted by law.
Individual household information is never shared publicly, and all data is handled in accordance with applicable privacy and confidentiality requirements.
Every Family is Required to Complete the Form
We encourage every family to complete the Annual Student Information Update, even if you believe your household may not qualify under the federal income guidelines.
Complete and accurate responses help the District:
- Maintain accurate student records.
