On Thursday night, the Board of School Directors approved an updated 2026-2027 district calendar. The revised calendar includes three student half-days, expanded conference hours (including evening options), and an earlier end to the school year. The full calendar can also be viewed here. Here are a few key dates from the revised 2026-2027 school year calendar:

- November 23, 2026: Evening Conferences (3 hours)

- November 24, 2026: Student half-day; daytime conferences in the afternoon

I hope you will see this revision to the 2026-2027 school year calendar reflects the district’s commitment to listening and responding to feedback with meaningful action. It is also important to note that these changes are the result of a strong partnership between the Board of School Directors, the administration, and the teachers’ association, working together to support students and families.

The hallways of Trumbauersville came to life on Wednesday evening as students and families gathered for the Spring Art Show. Students excitedly pointed out their works of art to family members, eager to share how each was created.

It was a joyful evening filled with smiles from teachers, students, and families alike, as the school community came together to celebrate creativity and hard work. Almost every inch of Trumbauersville was transformed into a vibrant art gallery, showcasing the incredible talent of our students.

Thank you to our amazing art teachers, Mr. Blumenthal and Ms. Robison, for their dedication and for bringing this event to life.

After nearly 100 years of memories, milestones, and community, our beloved Quakertown Elementary School will soon be demolished to make way for a beautiful new school. We know how much this building means to so many, and now, you have a chance to preserve a piece of its legacy. Staff, alumni, community members, and local organizations are invited to submit a request for consideration to receive salvaged items from the current QE building before demolition.

Whether it's a small keepsake or a meaningful artifact, this is a unique opportunity to honor the history of a school that has impacted generations.

Click here to request your keepsake.
*Please note, it may not be possible to honor all requests.

Please join us for a final community walk through Quakertown Elementary before construction begins. Community members are welcome to come explore a guided tour and walk the halls of QE one last time.

Please join us Tuesday, May 26th, from 5pm to 7pm at Quakertown Elementary, located at 123 South 7th Street, Quakertown, PA 18951.

A successful superintendent search depends on finding the right “fit” between the district and its next superintendent. This requires a clear understanding of the district’s needs and challenges, as well as a well-defined set of desired qualifications.

The Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) refers to these qualifications and characteristics as the Leadership Profile. This survey was designed to gather representative input from district stakeholders to help shape that profile.

The purpose of the survey is to collect confidential feedback from members of the school community. The summarized results will be shared with the school board and used to guide the selection of the district’s next superintendent.
