This message is for parents and guardians of Everett Area High School. We will be administering Keystone tests beginning on May 16. The schedule will be as follows: Biology testing with take place on May 16 and 17, Literature testing on May 19 and 20, and Algebra 1 testing on May 23 and 24. Breakfast will be served each morning from 7:50 am until 8:10 am. All Keystone testing will be administered online, so students should make sure their Chromebooks are fully charged before they report to school each testing day.
Any student who has already passed one or more of the designated Keystone tests does not have to come to school in the morning on the testing days for a test they have already passed. Those students who choose not to come to school in the morning must provide their own transportation and arrive between 10:30 am and 10:50 am. All other students should report to school at the regular time.
Tech center students who are not testing will depart the high school at the normal time, so those tech center students who do not come to school in the morning should provide their own transportation to the high school and arrive by 10:00 am.
If you have any questions, please call the school.

Dear Everett Parents, Guardians and Staff,
Today at 11:00am, the United States Department of Education recognized Everett Area High School as a National Blue Ribbon School for exemplary, high performance. One of only four high schools recognized in Pennsylvania.
To be clear, this is the highest academic honor that a public school can receive. It is the result of many years of hard work and focus on achieving excellence and improving on our existing academic structures.
Though making change can be very difficult, our board, administration, faculty, staff, students and parents rose to those challenges and met or exceeded our expectations. This honor is the culmination of a combined effort starting at our elementary schools all the way through our high school program. Everyone in this district has been a part of earning this accomplishment.
In conclusion, everyone should be very proud of the accomplishment of the Everett Area School District and its students. Everett Area High School is now recognized as one of the elite school programs in the nation. It is now our task to continue this pattern of excellence.
Parents will also be issued a formal news release by clicking the link in out text message or on the website’s news feed.
Thank you and have a great day

Dear Parents and Guardians,
As you may be aware, the Everett Area School Board voted on Monday to allow for parents to submit a notarized affidavit form to claim exceptions to the state mask mandate that requires students to wear a face covering in school. This form can be obtained at any district building or on our website directly under the words “Welcome to Everett Area School District”.
This form states that a parent is attesting that their child cannot wear a face covering because it may cause or exacerbate a medical or mental health condition. This form only applies to the masking order and does not affect student’s ability to participate in sports or other activities.
Please have these forms notarized and submitted to the building Principals by September 20, 2021.
Thank you
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please be aware there have been 9 new positive COVID cases so far this week in our District. Please watch for signs and symptoms of illness in your child. Please keep your child home if they have a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or persistent congestion, cough, runny nose, and sore throat.
Our staff and administration are continuing efforts to keep our students and staff healthy by encouraging frequent hand washing, social distancing, wearing mask, and watching for signs and symptoms of illness while at school.
We appreciate your continued efforts at home in preventing the spread of illness. Please contact Becky Garrett or Elizabeth Yokum with any questions or concerns.
Also, Due to the reported backlog in the availability of medical appointments, we will be extending the deadline to turn in medical exemptions to the masking order, until September 20, 2021.
Thank you!
Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,
Beginning tomorrow, September 7, 2021, the face covering mandate issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, goes into effect. All students and school personnel will be required to wear a face covering inside all school buildings. Students can bring their own mask/face shield, or one will be supplied by the district.
Students do not need to wear a face covering outside, while eating and drinking, or while engaged in high intensity physical activity, like Physical Education classes or sports.
If you desire to claim a medical exemption for your child, please contact your building Principal and they will outline the procedure with you. Medical exemptions need to be signed by a physician and turned into the office by September 13, 2021.
It is our goal to keep children in school and avoid shutdowns like we experienced last year. Hopefully, together, we can get our county numbers to an acceptable range.
Though this is not desired by anyone, we can make the best of a difficult situation. Let’s work together to keep the kids in school.
Thank you and have a nice evening.
Dear Parents and Guardians of The Everett Area School District,
As you may be aware, the Pennsylvania Department of Education will be releasing additional information, about the masking order, later today. We are told that this new information will change the process originally stated for parent exemptions.
The District will take the next few days to analyze these changes in conjunction with our solicitor, to ascertain how they impact possible exemptions, and our ability to manage this current order.
Be aware that our local legislators and our solicitor all agree that the District has no authority to ignore this order.
We will do our best to evaluate the new information and to determine the best possible courses of action.
We will release further communications later this weekend. We apologize for this inconvenience, but this situation is extremely fluid and is changing often.
