Welcome to the PASD Parent Resources Page!
 
The Punxsutawney Area School District is committed to preparing students for the future by enabling them to acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to become productive and responsible citizens.  This page is designed to provide parents and guardians with resources that they can access with their students at home to continue that vision.  Please check back often as we continue building links to valuable resources throughout the school year!
