'Tis the season to prepare for fun activities, special time with family and friends, and of course, a well-deserved Winter Break. Please review the information below to help you close out another year as we look ahead to many more months of growth for your student in 2023.

By this time, you should have received two messages in your inbox regarding the new Penn-Delco SMS Text functionality coming to Penn-Delco. If you haven't already, text "Y" or "YES" to the district short code number 67587 and if your mobile phone number is in our Skyward system, you will be immediately enrolled. Penn-Delco will be testing the system the week of December 5; those who have enrolled as well as those who have not will receive a message. At this time you may opt in or opt out as well. Please check your email for more detailed information about our SMS text system.
