Picture Day!

Reminder - Picture Day on Thursday, September 25th. Paper forms from Barksdale Photography were sent home a few weeks ago. Regardless of whether you order prints, every student will be photographed for the yearbook. You can either send the completed form with payment or visit their online store for more options and secure payment. 

To order online, visit www.barksdalephoto.com, click on "What are you looking for?", then select "Pay for pictures/Order Online" and then "Find my school's 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


Join us for the Newcomers/Welcoming Committee Coffee!

The PTO Newcomers/Welcoming Committee Coffee is a great opportunity to mingle with fellow newcomers and our friendly Welcoming Committee members. Come and learn tips from veteran parents or simply drop in to connect with other new families. The next gathering is set for Friday, October 3 from 9:30 - 11:30 Cup of Dreams in Paoli. It’s a casual drop-in, all are welcome to stop by anytime during that window to connect with veteran parents and other new parents. Got questions? Feel free to reach out to our Welcoming Committee chair, Karen Zamperini (karenzamperini@gmail.com).

Attention 5th Grade Parents!


ARCH is a coalition of parents, educators, and community members dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of youth in Tredyffrin and Easttown.
