COVID-19 Coronavirus and Remote Learning Plans

State College Area School District COVID-19 Coronavirus and Remote Learning Plans Information 

On Monday, March 30, Gov. Tom Wolf announced that all K-12 Pennsylvania schools will be closed indefinitely. During this time, we are still implementing a remote learning plan for our students.

If you are not receiving our district emails, please call our IT Support office at 814-231-7743 or email itsupport@scasd.org for assistance.

We’re still trying to identify students who need a computer and/or Internet access at home. We are prepared to provide a Chromebook to any students, as well as support to families with Internet access issues. If your child already has a computer at home (laptop, Chromebook, tablet, iPad), that will work with our plan and you do not need to sign up. Please fill out this form if you require a device at home or lack Internet access. Once your need is identified through the form, we will contact you directly to fulfill your request. 

Meals are being provided every weekday for all children under the age of 18 while schools are closed. A breakfast and lunch will be available on a first come, first served basis. If you have transportation issues which affect your ability to pick up food, please email studentservices@scasd.org. Children must be present in order for meals to be provided at the following drive-thru locations:

• State College Area High School bus loop from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
• Weis Market parking lot on North Atherton Street from 11 a.m.-noon
• Ashworth Woods Apartments in Boalsburg from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

NOTICE: Beginning next week on April 6, there is a major change to our meal distribution process. Please click here for details.
