The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an undeniably difficult situation for many in our ASD community and in our nation over the past 17 months. We are now on the path to where the majority of our students will be returning to in-person instruction for the 2021-2022 school year. While their return is clear evidence of progress, we know that many of our students will require a significant amount of attention to address academic learning loss, social-emotional needs, and safety as they re-engage in the traditional school setting.

The Armstrong School District will be applying for a large amount of federal funding that is being made available through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) program. This funding will last for three years, and it is intended to help safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools and to address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on students. ESSER funding must be used to meet needs that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic.

We would like to ask you to complete a short survey as district stakeholders. Your responses will help us to finalize the major areas of need for which we will use “ESSER III” funding in the Armstrong School District. The survey begins below, and responses will be collected through Monday, July 19, 2021 at 11:59 PM. We thank you for your feedback and support!
