Is Penns Valley Area School District better off than other schools? Some might say that Penns Valley is thriving during a global pandemic, and others might say that Penns Valley is doing poorly during these tough times.

Other schools like lewisburg where not so well off, their school year got delayed to weeks because of not being ready for all the new regulations and systems for the 2020-2021 school year.

Penns Valley has done a very well job of integrating technology into everyday learning. Altho there have been ups and downs with keeping students in person, the students have been given the opportunity to be in person full time or online full time. This has worked out well because everyone who needs in person learning is free to be in school without fear of running out of space due to social distance. Other schools however have forced everyone on zoom or everyone in person. This is unfortunate because they cant accommodate the various learning styles of the students.

Penns Valley has been very strict on Covid 19 rules, more strict than other schools. Some of the rules include wearing a mask properly at all times (except at lunch), following the one way rule in the halls and social distancing.
