Sharon City School District parents and friends. It’s not too late to participate in the 2020 Census. If you haven’t responded yet, please do so by Sept. 30, 2020.
In Pennsylvania, everyone counts. Our communities and families benefit when you participate in the 2020 Census. Our population count determines the federal support Pennsylvanians receive for the next ten years for healthcare, housing, food assistance, education, roads, and more.
Be a good neighbor and participate. It only takes a few minutes to complete. You can respond online in less time than it takes to drink your morning coffee.

With the uncertainties that the current pandemic presents, we realize that at any given moment our schools may once again have to shut down. We’re also aware that some of our students may not be able to attend school or there may be parents who wish to keep their children home. We want our families to know that the District will be prepared to provide instruction to all students in all scenarios, this includes the options of in school face to face instruction and virtual learning, where students will participate in school at home daily.
Sharon City Schools have secured the resources to implement a 1:1 initiative. This means:
Every K-12 student will be receiving a Chromebook at the beginning of the 2020-21 school year for use in and out of the classroom, as needed.
Online learning and connection to our classrooms will be made available to every student.
We will maintain instruction regardless of how the District is impacted by COVID-19 closures or restrictions.
We understand that families may be hesitant for the children to return to the school buildings.
To discuss our virtual learning options, please contact Justi Glaros, Supervisor of Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment, at 724-983-4000, ext. 4990 or justi_glaros@sharonsd.org or visit our homepage to access our Virtual Learning Form.
