Dear Penn-Delco Community,
As we move through the gorgeous fall season, it has been encouraging to see our schools full of energy, activity, and connection. Across the District, students are learning, growing, and becoming increasingly connected to their school communities.
Penn-Delco strongly encourages every student to find their place, discover an interest, and pursue a passion through the many extracurricular and co-curricular opportunities available in our schools. Whether through a club, sport, performing arts group, service organization, or another activity, there are countless ways for students to explore something new and connect with others. This is especially true at Sun Valley, where getting involved can help make the high school experience even more rewarding.
We know that some of the most meaningful parts of a student’s school experience happen outside of the traditional classroom. Collaborating with others, sharing interests, working toward a common goal, and making memories with friends all help students build a sense of belonging. These relationships and shared experiences can stay with students long after they leave our schools.
We also know that regular attendance is an important part of that experience. Being present each day allows students to stay engaged in learning, strengthen relationships, and take full advantage of the opportunities available to them. Our administrators will continue to pay close attention to attendance this year, recognizing the strong connection between consistent attendance and student success.
Our hope is that every student finds something, or someone, that makes school meaningful to them. By exploring interests, building relationships, and trying new things, students develop confidence, discover who they are, and build skills they will carry with them throughout their lives.
Together, we are creating schools where every student belongs and has the opportunity to get “Ready for Life.” Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for helping us make this another terrific year in Penn-Delco.
Gratefully yours,
Dr. George Steinhoff
Superintendent of Schools
