Transportation Thirty school buses, owned and operated by Churnetski Transportation, transport elementary students who live beyond 1.5 miles, and secondary students who live beyond 2 miles. Other students may qualify for busing because they live along routes declared hazardous by the PA Department of Transportation. Kindergarten Children who are five years or older by September 30th may register for Kindergarten in the school district. Kindergarten screening is conducted annually in the spring to determine children's readiness to enter school. Bus transportation is provided to and from both half-day sessions of kindergarten.
Every new student is given preliminary screening prior to classroom placement.
The screening process helps to determine proper reading placement and often identifies students in need of remedial services, hearing, vision, speech or learning problems. Students are referred to appropriate school personnel as needed. Extracurricular Activities Hanover Area offers a comprehensive and varied extracurricular program. Both junior and senior high students may elect to participate in school and community service organizations such as Student Council, Key Club, Leo Club, S.A.D.D., National Honor Society and Ski Club. Students may also display their writing, musical and acting talents by participating in chorus, marching and concert band, the school newspaper and a school wide musical play.
