NPSD District-Wide Events

Dear North Penn families,

Below are some NPSD meetings and events that may be of relevance to you and your family. The events below are only those sponsored by the North Penn School District, not school-sponsored events. This newsletter will be sent twice a month via School Messenger. As always, all NPSD events can be found on the district calendar, including school-specific events not included here. NPSD also recognizes there are many local organizations holding worthwhile programs in the community. Such events can be found on the NPSD Community Bulletin Board.

NPSD will be holding an ELD Family and Community Night on October 8, 2025 from 6-7 PM at Hatfield Elementary School (1701 Fairgrounds Road, Hatfield). The event is an information session about the NPSD English Language Development program. Translators will be participating in the event, and babysitting is available for children in the library.

The North Penn School District is hosting a Mental Health and Wellness Resource Fair to help families, community members, and employees connect with resources for the whole self. The fair will be held October 9, 2025 from 6-8 pm at Pennfield Middle School (726 Forty Foot Road, Hatfield). Please use the entrance to Pennfield Middle School off Elroy Road and park in the lot behind the bus circle.

Experts, including mental health providers, wellness coaches, nutritionists, fitness trainers, and more will be at the fair to provide information, resources, and/or interactive sessions to help with all aspects of a person’s health. The fair is free for all to attend and is being held in partnership with High Focus Centers.
