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.

Join us for the first gathering of the Rainbow Connection this school year on Tuesday, October 21 from 6:30 to 7:45 PM. The Rainbow Connection is an informal group of LGBTQIA+ families and allies who come together to create a safe and supportive space. The goal is to build connections, share helpful resources, provide feedback on school experiences, and enjoy time together. For more information or to RSVP and receive the location, please contact Pamula Hart at hartps@npenn.org or 215-853-1060.

Join us for a resource fair dedicated to grandparents and kinship caregivers. The event will be held October 28 from 5-7 PM at the Educational Services Center (401 E Hancock Street, Lansdale). Meet and chat with community organizations including Center for Loss & Bereavement, Mission Kids, Lansdale Parks and Rec, Manna on Main, Merakey Behavior Health, and The Lincoln Center. Also in attendance will be NPSD departments including technology, school nutrition services, community education, the English language development program, and special education and student services. Contact Dr. Hart at hartps@npenn.org or 215-853-1060 with any questions.

Multilingual families are welcome to a "Knights Out" open house at Manna on Main Street Friday, November 7 from 4:30 to 6:30 PM. Join us for a free meal and resources from the English language development department of NPSD and Manna on Main. Translators will be on-site, and tours of the facility will be given.
