The PA Public Utility Commission (PUC) has created the Advance Education Brochure explaining the soon-to-be-implemented Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program. The EBB gives qualifying households money to buy internet service or equipment to use the internet if they are eligible. This program should be of particular interest to parents of school age students (Free or Reduced Lunch makes a household eligible), and students attending colleges and universities (Pell Grant recipients are eligible). This program is not yet activated. However, the funding is expected to go quickly and will be administered on a first come/first served basis. More information about this program is also available on the FCC’s webpage at www.fcc.gov.

Case Avenue, Middle School and High School parents and guardians. Please be informed that parking at Marco's Pizza Shop is no longer permitted. As I mentioned in my post from February 22, 2021, the manager of the store had asked for cooperation when parking in the lot, using only limited spots and not allowing students to run between cars etc. Unfortunately, this has not happened, and there has since been an accident and an child injured. Therefore, beginning immediately, cars parking in the lot at drop off and dismissal will be ticketed and towed. We thank the staff at Marco's for their willingness to try and resolve this issue prior to having to make this decision.
