Tips for Parents

Student Absences and Lates :  Parents are expected to call the school before 9:00 am to report student absences and lates.  Please call 610-922-2302 and leave a message.

Parent Calls to Students:  Except in cases of emergency, parents are asked not to telephone the students through the school office as such calls interrupt office staff.   If you need to call because of an emergency, we will take a brief message and post a note for your child on the bulletin board; students are expected to take responsibility to check the board over the course of the day.

Student Use of Phones:  Student use of offices phones are limited to emergencies only. 

Schedule Information:  Our announcement line is reached by calling 610-922-2300.  Messages are posted as-needed with changes in dismissal times, emergency closings, sports cancellations, changes to bus schedules, and other information you may need to know during the course of the day.  It will be updated as necessary, and so in the event of bad weather, you may want to check it several times.

Emergency Closings:  When weather conditions are such that a school closing seems possible, parents can access school closing information via radio, TV, telephone and website homepage.  Our school number is 367.
