Asa Packer News

Please see below for this week's news.

Thank you to all of our families for your support during this past year.

Best wishes to our 5th graders as they move on to middle school. Newsletters may be periodically sent as we get closer to the start of the new school year. Our entire Asa Packer Family wishes you the best over the summer months.

We'll see you all again soon.

Teacher assignments for the 2023-24 school year will be mailed home during mid-August. They should arrive the week prior to the start of school. Lists will not be posted at the school.

Please remember that teacher requests are not accepted. We have procedures in place for classroom assignments. Please note that teachers may be added, and others may be changing grade levels for the upcoming school year. Requests are also not accepted for placing students with their friends.

If you move over the summer, please submit updated contact information to the Main Office. This will allow mailings to be sent to the correct address. Verification of residency will be needed to update an address in the district system.

Any questions pertaining to transportation should be directed to that particular office. Information regarding district transportation for the 2023-2024 school year will be mailed to your home directly from the Transportation Office in mid-August. The Transportation Department can be reached at 610-861-0360.

All students will keep their chromebooks over the summer. If your child is moving, chromebooks should be returned to the school.

It is critical your child/children charge their Chromebook periodically throughout the summer to avoid battery issues. Please remind your child/children to follow the attached Chromebook Summer Care document to avoid having issues with their Chromebook when school begins. If the Chromebook has a problem during summer, please go to any BASD school website and click the Student Chromebook/IT Help link to enter a ticket for assistance. Thank you.
