Health Forms

As we enter the final marking period of this school year, it's almost time to start planning for the 2024-2025 school year. We want to remind you to consider the following when scheduling your child’s well visit or dental checkup:

-For incoming grade 6: Physical exams within one year are required per PA School Health Code.

-For incoming grade 7: students MUST submit documentation of MCV or Tdap PRIOR to the first day of school or risk exclusion. This is per state requirements. 

-Additionally, students in 7th grade must have a dental exam within one year.

Please click on this link for a letter from the School Nurse with further details.

- PIAA forms are required if your 7/8 grade student wishes to participate in school sports. Please visit the TEMS Athletics page for additional instructions:

PTO Meet and Greet

The Tredyffrin-Easttown Middle School (TEMS) PTO would like to extend a warm welcome to families who will be joining the TEMS community for the first time next fall, as well as any veteran families with rising 5th-graders. The PTO will be holding a 'meet and greet' meeting and we would love for you to join us! 

All parents and caregivers with students in any grade who are interested in learning more about our organization are invited to attend our meet and greet meeting on Thursday, April 18th, at 9:30 am. Visitors can check in at the school’s front office, and the office staff will help direct you to our meeting location

That morning, we will hold a brief meeting to give a window into our organization's operation, and then allow time for mixing and chatting over coffee. We do expect vacancies in some PTO positions next year and we would love to gauge interest and begin to welcome you into the TEMS community. This will be a great preview for future TEMS parents/caregivers and will help the current PTO plan for the coming school year.

Please note that this invitation is not for the TEMS Grade 4 Parent Orientation meeting held by the school. That TESD-hosted event is separate and will be held on May 21st from 7:00-8:30 pm. More information will be forthcoming on that presentation directly from the school.

We look forward to seeing many of you on April 18th!
