RE-REGISTRATION (ENTERING GRADES 5 and 9)

Parents and guardians of students entering grades 5 and 9 at the start of the 2026–2027 school year will be asked to review and update their residential and contact information. This routine re-registration process supports accurate student records and helps ensure smooth transitions, appropriate school placement, transportation, services, staffing, and resource planning for the upcoming school year. Visit the link below for more information.

STUDENT, FAMILY INFORMATION UPDATES (ENTERING GRADES 1-4, 6-8, 10-12)

Starting this spring, ALL Neshaminy parents and guardians (except those re-registering for rising grade 5 and 9 students) must update their information in Home Access each year. This is a new requirement that will help the district to maintain correct information and enhance communications. Parents and guardians can confirm or update their information by logging into their Home Access accounts. No documents are required unless there is a change of address, multiple occupancy affidavit, or affidavit of support required.

Please visit the Neshaminy website using the link below for information on how to update your information in Home Access Center.

Neshaminy School District is looking for both certified and support staff for the 2025-2026 school year. Visit our employment website to see the available positions and complete an application or join us at one of our ESS Hiring Events held on several Fridays in the District Board Room at Maple Point.

P.B.I.S. stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports. At Hoover Elementary School, we believe that students can be taught how to make appropriate behavior choices in the same way that they can be taught math, reading, science, and social studies. Our three behavior expectations are:

• Be Respectful
• Be Responsible
• Be Safe

We teach our students how to meet these expectations in a variety of settings (classroom, cafeteria, playground, bus, hall, bathroom, etc.). We reinforce appropriate behaviors with verbal praise and with P.B.I.S. Tickets. Students who earn tickets can exchange them for a sticker that they can wear proudly throughout the day. Students can also earn prizes on Friday during our P.B.I.S. raffle. The more tickets you earn each week, the better the chance you have of winning a prize.

Our P.B.I.S. program has been recognized by the PA Commonwealth as being effective in helping our students to make appropriate behavior choices.

If you have any questions regarding our program, or if you have any suggestions for how we could improve our program for 2026-2027, please email any of the following individuals:

• David Glennon - Principal - dglennon@neshaminy.org
• Jaimie Salt - Teacher - PBIS Tier 1 Team Leader - jsalt@neshaminy.org
