Dragon Families,
Hope you had a wonderful summer. We are excited about this new school year. Our PTA is hosting our annual Ice Cream Social tonight from 5-7pm here at the school. Staff will be on campus and rooms will be open. Please come meet other parents, teachers and coaches. You can drop off your students’ school supplies with their names on them to the homeroom classrooms. Of course, ice cream will be available for all thanks to our fabulous PTA. If you haven’t already please consider becoming a PTA member.
Please remember to send a sack lunch with your student on the first day. Students need to be in uniform on day one. COVID restrictions have been relaxed, mask wearing is optional. Contact tracing is no longer required however, positive cases still need to isolate for 5 days. Please send a reusable water bottle with your student daily.
Many forms will be going home with your student. Please do your best to sign and return them at your earliest convenience. ALL FAMILIES NEED TO RETURN A LUNCH FORM. We only need one form per family.
Parent Drop Off and Pick Up
Drop Off: Students may only exit vehicles curbside. Parents should travel North on Carlisle from I-40, turning right heading East on Cutler, or you can approach along Morningside turning left on Cutler next to the school. Only make right turns onto school property. Proceed for curbside drop-off as directed by staff. Please pull as far forward as you can before stopping to drop off your student(s). There is no left turn out of the school onto Cutler. This is to maintain traffic flow and the safety of our students and teachers on duty. Please do not drop off students prior to 8:00AM, as there are no teachers to supervise them until that time. Any student dropped off prior to 8:00AM will be signed into the Before Care program, which includes a $5/use charge.
Pick Up: The pickup location is the same as drop off. Students may only load into vehicles curbside. Any student still on campus 20 minutes after release will be escorted inside the building and signed into the After Care program, unless they are participating in a school club or sport on that day.
Just one more reminder, OSI backpacks are required for all students.
We are fully staffed with licensed personnel and still have a few student spots available.
We are looking forward to an amazing year. Have a great day and GOOOOOOO DRAGONS!
Hello, Dragon Families! We are getting ready to kickoff the school year, and we are excited to get started! Please read below for some important information and upcoming dates.
School Uniforms
If you still need to purchase uniforms for your student, please make sure to check out the official provider at Ad-It-Up (http://www.adituptees.com/21stcentury). The PTA will also be hosting a uniform drive at the school tomorrow Friday, August 5th as well as Monday, August 8th from 10-12 each day.
Ice Cream Social
Speaking of the PTA, they will also be hosting our annual Ice Cream Social event at the school on Thursday, August 25th, from 5-7. Please stop by to tour the school and visit with your teachers, while also enjoying ice cream! The PTA will be running a water bottle drive during the event, so if you have any new or used reusable water bottles you’d be willing to donate to families in need, please bring them with you!
School Supplies
Please use the following links to access the school supply lists for each grade level, which are also accessible on our website:
Before/After Care
21st Century runs a before and after care program for students that need to be dropped off or picked up outside of our regular school day. The program costs $5 per session ($10 if using both before and after care in a single day). The Before Care program runs from 6:30-8:00, and the After Care program runs from 4:00-5:30. The first time your student utilizes the program, you will need to fill out the corresponding agreement form. You can also access that form ahead of time here: http://21stcenturypa.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Before-and-After-Care-Agreement.pdf.
West Side Busses
We offer two bus routes for our West Side students. The route information can be found on our website, here: http://21stcenturypa.com/wp/?page_id=5458. You do not need to register for your student to ride the bus, just be ready at the appointed time at whichever stop is most convenient.
Medical Forms
If you have not yet done so and your student has a necessary medical plan, please fill out the appropriate forms below and return them to the school at your earliest convenience.
First Day of School
Students will start school at 8:15 on Monday, August 29th. You will receive further information from your students’ homeroom teacher the week before, including what to expect the first week of school.
We hope your summer has been as restful and cool as possible, and we look forward to seeing you all again soon! Go Dragons!
