Northley Middle School looks forward to welcoming our new grade 6 class in the 2023-2024 school year with a parent information night on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at 6:30pm in the Northley Middle School Auditorium. Parents of current 5th graders are welcome to join us for our annual Parent Information Night to hear from Principal Ryan Buterbaugh, Administrator Eileen Martin, and 6th Grade Counselor Nicole Sayre. Learn about Northley academic programming and opportunities for middle school students to shine. A great night to learn and ask questions. Here is a flyer with all the details.

Penn-Delco now offers full-day kindergarten beginning in the 2023-2024 school year. Registration will open on March 21, 2023 at 9am. You may prepare for registration by going to pdsd.org/kreg for information about age requirements, document preparation and orientation. There is no transportation for kindergarten students.

Congratulations to our students who contributed to the Nicholas Spennato Young Authors' Project, which is sponsored by the Delaware County Reading Council and the Delaware County Intermediate Unit. Penn-Delco had 15 of the 95 winning pieces that were selected from approximately 600 entries from private and public schools across the county. We appreciate the support of our principals, reading specialists and ELA teachers who supported and guided our students through the entry process. A special ceremony at Penn-Delco will be held in May.  See the list of winners at our website.

Sixteen students from our four elementary schools were selected to perform on March 2 at the Elementary District 12 Chorus Fest at Phoenixville Area School District with other elementary students across the region. Learn more at our website.

Congratulations to Northley Middle School Students Logan Ramsey (7th), Michael Henry (6th), Keira Wilkerson (8th), Anderson Stone (8th), and Riley Johnston (8th) who were chosen winners from the recent Americanism Essay Contest sponsored by the Aston American Legion Auxiliary Unit 926.  Students will find out what place they won at the award ceremony at the end of the month. One Sun Valley student, sophomore Aidan Hearn, placed as well.  Students' essays were in response to the prompt: "What does patriotism mean to you?" We are Penn-Delco Proud of their accomplishment!

Congratulations to our new Board Member Mr. Patrick Twisler who will fill the seat left by Ms. Lisa Esler who resigned last month.

Thank you to all of our elementary families who contributed to the Kids Heart Challenge last month. Our elementary students learned about good heart health while helping to raise funds for the American Heart Association.

The Sun Valley Theater students open their production of Chicago The Musical: Teen Edition on Thursday through the weekend. Support these young artists who have been rehearsing for this production since January 3. Tickets are available online or at the door. They are going quick!

Are you early to bed, early to rise? Are you available early morning and mid afternoon? Do you like kids K thru 12? Would you like to help our kids get to school safely? Are you willing to work in all kinds of weather? Can you deal with high traffic areas? If you can answer yes to these questions, there’s an opportunity waiting for you as a substitute with the Aston Township Crossing Guard Corps! Working hours are 7:00am – 8:30am and 2pm – 3:00pm. Crossing Guards are paid $16.00 per hour on a monthly basis. If you are willing to give it a try, pick up an application at the Aston Township Police Department at 1 New Road, Aston PA, M-F between the hours of 8:30am to 4:00pm.
