A Note from TEMS PTO

Dear TEMS Parents/Guardians,


Hope you all are having a good summer. School officially starts Aug 28th, so here are a few reminders to help with a smooth start of school.


Warmly,

TEMS PTO

New to the School District

Welcome to the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District. Please note that the New Family Orientation program is on Aug 25th, at 1pm. You will receive further details about this from the school.

Our district uses two programs: PowerSchool and Schoology. PowerSchool is the program that provides parents/guardians access to student forms, bus information and course schedules. Keep a lookout for emails from the school district for your unique login information. Schoology is the program you will use to stay updated on school news and your students grades and course work.

For any technology questions or concerns regarding login information contact familyhelpdesk@tesd.net

Incoming 5th Graders

Welcome to TEMS! 

You are invited to bring your student to TEMS to pick up Laptops, Class Schedules & Locker Assignments: August 17, 18 and 21: 10am-2pm.

This is a great time to walk your student's schedule and practice locker combinations. If your schedule does not allow for a visit during these times, please do not worry as this is not mandatory, and the school will provide other opportunities for 5th grade transition.

6th, 7th and 8th Graders

Students in 6th, 7th and 8th grade will have access to their schedules through PowerSchool on August 23.

Paperwork for any 7th and 8th grade students wanting to participate in a fall sport at TEMS is now available on the Powerschool Parent Portal. Please visit the TEMS Athletics page for additional instructions:
