Fall 2021 Athletic Update

We are on target for a regular fall athletic season for 2021! Varsity and JV teams will start on Monday, August 16^th (Football will start a week earlier on August 9^th for heat acclimation). JVB and 9th grade programs will begin once school starts.

As a reminder, all athletes interested in participating in a fall sport, must submit all required paperwork to the athletic office after July 5. Please use the following link for all PIAA paperwork. https://www.tesd.net/domain/1881

We want to emphasize how important it is that we all stay vigilant in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 at all times. We want our student athletes to have the ability to compete in a safe manner and we will take all necessary steps to do so. We will continue to monitor the recommendations from the PIAA, PDE, and county/state health departments and adjust accordingly.

Traffic Safety Reminders

TESD urges all parents to exercise traffic safety around our schools. Please be reminded to: 

• Drive slowly and carefully in school parking lots, drop off areas and nearby roads
• Obey all traffic flow patterns and rules of the road
• Please be respectful of our neighbors
• When dropping off and picking up students, please pull all the way up allowing traffic to flow
• Discuss pedestrian safety with your kids (use crosswalks/sidewalks, look both ways, don't "walk and text," etc)

Traffic patterns around the schools are always busy at the start and end of our school days. We appreciate your attention to the safety of all of our students. 

***VISITORS***

Per our district's safety plan, we are not permitted to have visitors or parents/guardians in the school building. Exceptions will be made for emergency situations. Thank you for your understanding as we begin our reopening plan for hybrid instruction.

If your child is scheduled to attend school in person but remains home (and participates virtually), there is no need to send an absence note to the attendance office.
