Next Tuesday, November 11 is our the next NPE PTO meeting. Please note that we will be hosting a Drug and Alcohol Prevention workshop prior to the start of the PTO meeting. The PTO meeting will begin after the conclusion of the Drug and Alcohol presentation. This should occur at approximately 7:30 PM.

Due to the federal government shutdown, Delaware County residents are experiencing interruptions in their SNAP (food assistance) benefits. WSSD is working with local partners who are ready to assist. Resources for families in need of food support: Resources and Contacts within or close to the WSSD Community County-wide Resources Email the Office of Student Services/School Social Worker @ foodresources@wssd.org for additional assistance.

Donations: Wallingford-Swarthmore School District is collecting and distributing grocery gift cards to WSSD families in need who reach out to the district for assistance. Gift cards can be dropped into the Tax Office mail slot, on the far right side of the middle school, facing Providence Road. This is a secure location that will be emptied twice weekly. Please note that donations are anonymous and gift cards will be provided to families through the Office of Student Services based solely on reported needs and on a first come first serve basis.

Additionally, if you are interested in making a county-wide donation, please consider volunteering or donating to the Delaware County Council Food Drive. Our community stands together to ensure all families have access to food and support during this temporary disruption. Please share this information with friends and neighbors who may be affected or interested in donating

This year, for the first time, we are sharing MAP Family Reports digitally. You will receive an email with a direct link to your child’s NWEA MAP Family Report on either November 6th or November 7th. This MAP Family Report will be shared to the parent email on record in PowerSchool. While this process took a little longer than we would have liked, we believe that you will find this information useful.

For more information, please review the following WSSD Map Parent Letter:
