PTO Meeting this Thursday!

We would like to invite everyone to the very first PTO Meeting of the year!  It will be held Thursday, September 18 at 9:30 am in the Large Group Room (near the cafeteria down stairs) at TEMS. Please check in at the front office when you arrive. 

Picture Day Volunteers Needed

Picture Day is on Thursday, September 25th. We need a few parent volunteers to help run the event. This is a great opportunity to see your kids at school! Please note that all kids will come in during their respective SOCIAL STUDIES class periods to get their picture taken. The schedule and signup can be found HERE.


If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to akhila.gautam@gmail.com. Thank you.

Bulldog Family Fest

The Bulldog Family Fest was a smashing success! Thank you to all the incredible committee chairs and volunteers who gave their time, energy, and enthusiasm to make the Bulldog Family Fest a huge hit! Their dedication helped create a fun, welcoming, and memorable event for our entire TEMS community. From setting up and running activities to keeping everything running smoothly, they did it all.  Additionally, thank you to the staff, students, and parents.   We are so grateful for your support — you are the heart of this event!  

School & Community Assistance

If you are experiencing financial need, please reach out to your student's school counselor or mental health specialist to have a confidential conversation about available supports. You may also communicate directly with Tredyffrin and Easttown Care, our community group that provides short-term financial and other material assistance to persons in need in the Tredyffrin and Easttown Communities, by visiting their website: General Help Form | T&E CARE
