School messages delivered YOUR way: Get ready for ParentSquare

by

parentsquare

As part of Exeter's efforts to enhance communication, in the coming days you'll be receiving more information about a new communications system and app called ParentSquare, which will unify ALL of the messages you receive from your children's teachers, administrators and the district in one safe and secure place with options for you to select how and when you're notified. Parents will be able to keep track of news, activities and events from all of their children’s schools, allowing for easier communication, organization, involvement and awareness of what's happening in your kids' classrooms, clubs and activities and across the district.

With ParentSquare, parents can enjoy photos posted by teachers, fill out forms and permission slips, sign up for parent-teacher conferences and much more. School staff and parents can engage in both one-to-one and group messaging with real-time language translation. We also think that parents will enjoy the built-in calendar that allows parents to set up reminders and download events directly to their phones so that they never miss an important date or event!

With our launch set for Monday, November 15th, please stay tuned as we invite you to join us in the app or online in a few more days!

Quarantine Update for Students 5-11 Years Old

by

As you are likely aware, this week the CDC granted emergency use authorization of Pfizer's COVID vaccine to children 5-11 years old, which opened vaccine availability to all children attending elementary and middle school. Should you so choose to have your child vaccinated, the PA Department of Health will no longer require us to quarantine your child if he or she has been identified as a close contact of a COVID-19 positive individual at school. To be eligible for this exemption, your child must have received both doses of the vaccine with the last dose occurring at least 2 weeks prior to exposure.

If you would like to vaccinate your child, you may find a list of vaccine providers by visiting vaccines.gov, texting your zip code to 438829, calling 800-232-0233 or calling your child's pediatrician for further information and advice. Exeter will also host a vaccine clinic at the Lausch Administration Building in the near future--please stay tuned for dates and details.

Band Night offers elementary musicians a chance to play at the stadium

Elementary band students were very excited to participate in Band Night earlier this month during Exeter's home football game against Muhlenberg. Students who attended marched into the stadium with the high school marching band, watched the band perform their pregame show and "hung out" with the band in the stands as they played pep tunes to cheer on our winning Exeter Eagles football team.

Reiffton's band teacher Mrs. Dawn Keebler said, "This was a great exposure for our youngest band members as they were able to see the culmination of years of practice. The students had a great time and can't wait to participate in next year's event!"

Please contribute your feedback for our Health & Safety Plan

by

As we look forward to the 2021-22 school year and a full return to in-person instruction, we are updating our Health and Safety Plans to reflect the latest guidance. These plans will then be submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Education so that we may receive a one-time, emergency federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) grant of $3.1 million, which must be used for specific programming and expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you’d like to share your feedback or suggestions on the development of this Health and Safety Plan and/or the utilization of the grant funds, please visit https://forms.gle/Gpjgg6rxfm5YJEzd8
