We can't wait to see you on August 24th!

  • Complete the returning student update in Skyward on August 11th

    https://skyward.iscorp.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/WService=wseduexeterpa/fwemnu01.w
    Skyward will open after 3PM on Friday, August 11th. We recommend completing the Returning Student Update on a desktop/laptop computer rather than a mobile device. A parent/guardian will need to go through this step first in order to access their child's teacher, schedule and bus route information. 

  • View your schedule, teacher and bus route information

    https://skyward.iscorp.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/WService=wseduexeterpa/fwemnu01.w
    After you've completed the Returning Student Update on August 11th, please log in from a desktop/laptop to find:

    • Teacher/Schedule Information: In the left column, click on the "Schedule" tab. 
    • Bus Information: In the left column, click on the "Busing" tab. 
      Please note: Navigation in the app differs from these steps; we recommend you use a desktop/computer for the easiest navigation.
  • Verify your ParentSquare account

    All users must go through a one-time two-factor authentication step to confirm their email and cell phone number to log into www.parentsquare.com. The email and cell phone number must match the records we have in Skyward. If you have already verified your account and there have been no changes in your contact information or account from last year, you will not need to complete this step and you will be automatically logged into the system. 

  • Set your notification preferences in ParentSquare

    ParentSquare allows users to customize their notifications based on notification type and also select their preferred delivery method for each school. You can choose between "instant" and "digest" notifications. The "instant" setting will send all post notifications in real-time. The "digest" setting sends direct messages, alerts, and time-sensitive posts instantly, but sends all non-time sensitive posts around 6:30PM, reducing the number of notifications you receive daily. (We recommend the "digest" setting.)

    • From www.parentsquare.com: On your home page, click your name and select "My account." Then, select "Notification Settings."
    • If you are using the mobile app: From your home screen, click the triple bar in the top left corner. Click on "Account," then "Notification Settings."
  • Print the 2023-24 School Year Calendar

    You can also find calendars for each school here: https://exetersd.org/events-calendar

  • Add money to your lunch account

    https://www.schoolcafe.com
    If you prefer to send in cash or a check, please make your check payable to "ETSD" and place it in a clearly-marked "BREAKFAST/LUNCH MONEY" envelope with your student's name, teacher/homeroom, grade and ID#.

  • Apply now for free and reduced lunch

    https://www.schoolnutritionandfitness.com/index.php?sid=1623783486174&page=lunchapps
    Applications being accepted now! If you need help completing the application, please contact our Food Services Department at 610-779-0700

  • Complete new health forms

    https://exetersd.org/pupil-services/health/health-forms
    If your child has seizures, allergies, asthma, needs medication at school, or has any health concerns the nurse should be aware of, please complete the appropriate form(s) to give to the school nurse. 

  • Purchase School Supplies

    Please contact your school should you need help purchasing school supplies.

    • Senior High and Junior High students should come to school on the first day with basic school supplies, such as pens/pencils, a binder and notebook. They will learn what supplies they need from their teachers during the first week.
