Pocono Mountain School District (PMSD) is committed to providing a high quality education that meets the needs of all students. School Districts in Pennsylvania must develop Phased School Reopening and Health and Safety Plans. While Monroe County is currently in the green phase of reopening, District plans must include educational options for the three phases of Governor Wolf’s Process for Reopening Pennsylvania guidelines.

PMSD officials are seeking input from parents/guardians to help inform the District’s planning process. Please take a few minutes to answer the following survey questions which will assist District Administrators in planning for the 2020-2021 school year.

If you have more than one child enrolled in the Pocono Mountain School District, please complete the survey only once.
