COVID-19 Update
The Penn-Trafford School District is closely monitoring developments with the COVID-19 pandemic. Updates will be posted here.
Westmoreland County - Substantial Level
(updated 10/23/20) Once a week, the PA Department of Education publishes a list identifying the level of community transmission in each county over the most recent 7-day reporting period. A county can be identified as either Low, Moderate, or Substantial. When a county is identified as Substantial for at least two weeks in a row, the recommendation by the PA Department of Ed is to have schools close and have all of the students become full-remote learners. If Westmoreland County remains Substantial for a second week, Penn Trafford has decided to remain open in the same manner as we are currently operating.

Symptom Screening Tool
It is important for students and staff to administer the PTSD Symptom Screening Tool every day. If you are symptomatic or may have been in close contact with a positive case you need to stay home and contact the school nurse immediately. Your cooperation with sharing information with our nurses and reporting any positive cases of COVID-19 within your family or close contacts is very important.
Health & Safety Plan
The most recent update to our Health and Safety Plan was approved at the August 17, 2020 School Board Meeting. Revisions reflected the change to a Hybrid schedule at the High School as well as a 25-spectator limit at all indoor athletic events.
Athletics
At this time ALL school athletic events are closed to the public. The limited spectators permitted at this time will be families only. There will be no admission charge to our families and all of our stadium and main gymnasium events will be live streamed (NFHS LIVE STREAM) for free to all fans this year.
