Dear Penn-Delco Community,
As we kick off the 2025-2026 school year, I want to extend a warm back-to-school welcome to all students, families and staff. The first week is in the books, and we like what we see! Every new school year brings opportunities for learning, growth, and reconnecting with classmates and friends.
This edition of our district e-news highlights some exciting updates: the BusPatrol safety program to reduce illegal car passings when buses are stopped, our refreshed mobile app to keep families connected, and an updated Portrait of a Graduate, our framework for the real-life skills every Penn-Delco student develops.
Over the summer, we made some interior updates at Northley Middle School and Sun Valley High School, including fresh colors, improved lighting, and new flooring. Some work is ongoing (pardon our appearance!), but we’re excited for families to see the progress - and we’re thrilled about the new soft-surface playground at Pennell.
I encourage families to stay connected by reading newsletters from principals, following the district, schools and PTL groups on social media, and checking our online calendar at www.pdsd.org/calendar. These tools provide the most up-to-date information for all events and activities.
Thank you for your continued support. Together, we ensure Penn-Delco is a place where every student can grow, succeed, and explore their talents. I’m excited to see all that this year will bring!
Keeping you in the loop,
Dr. George Steinhoff
