If you are planning to move out of our school attendance area for the next school year, please notify the school office at this time. This information will be most important as we make preparations for next school year.

Please remember that if you wish to request permission for your child to ride a bus or use a bus stop other than the one assigned based on your residence, the transportation office will need your completed transportation change request form by July 1, 2025. These requests are approved on a space available basis and require four days before becoming effective. If you wait until the start of the 2025-2026 school year to request a bus deviation, there will be delays and possible denial due to the unavailability of space on the bus requested. Also, please remember that the district policy regarding bus deviations does not permit more than one pick up or drop off location. Transportation Change Request forms must be requested each year.

Please click on the link below for form:

Field Days at NHUF will be held on Monday, May 19th for Grades 3-5 and Tuesday, May 20th for Grades K-2. More information to follow at a later date.

Please click on the button below for information regarding the Kindergarten Launch for students entering kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year.

Kindergarten registration for the 2025-2026 school year has begun. Registrations packets were mailed to families based on census data at the end of December. If you did not receive a packet, the contents are available at the link below.

Please note that Student Registration Hours are By Appointment Only. This includes having forms photocopied and in-person questions. If you are dropping off completed paperwork for submission, please use the drop box at the front entrance to the Education Center.

We have been asked to sing the National Anthem once again at a Reading Royals Game! The date is Friday, March 29th at 7:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased at this link. Your singing child is free! All other children/family members MUST have a ticket. A letter was sent home this week with more information. Any questions, please contact Mrs. Gallagher at school.

The date of our Spring Choral Concert has a district conflict. Therefore, it has been moved to Tuesday, May 20th.

It will still be held at Middle School West and start at 7:00 PM that evening. The students will be attending a Dress Rehearsal that morning from 9:00-12:30 at MSW.

Just a reminder that parents who pick their child(ren) up at the end of the day will not be permitted to enter the pick up line until 3:00 PM. Please know that waiting on Hoffmansville Road for the cones to be moved is NOT permitted. While this may be inconvenient for some of you, the safety of our students and staff is top priority.

If you are picking your child up during the day, please do not email the attendance email. Please send a note to school with your child on the day of pick up. If you make an appointment after your child has gone to school, please call the office. Thank you.

Please mark your calendar and join the Principal and PTCA for Coffee on the following dates:

April 1 - 9:00 AM

May 19 - 6:30 PM (please note change of date)

All meetings will be held at NHUF Elementary School with a zoom option. Please bring your Photo ID if you are coming in person.

All classroom/birthday treats must be pre-packaged and store-bought with the ingredients clearly written on the label. If possible, please be sure treats are of the same type (same flavor, no icing, all icing, etc.).

For the safety of all students, DO NOT send in any nut products as there may be students in the class with nut allergies. Please read your snack labels and DO NOT send in snacks that state: "Manufactured in a factory containing nut products" or "May contain allergens".

In order to enter the school, all visitors are required to buzz the office by pushing the silver button located to the left of the visitor door. Once you are buzzed into the building, please report to the office to sign in and pick up a visitor or volunteer badge. Please be sure to carry photo ID with you whenever you are on school property. Deliveries of any kind (forgotten homework, birthday treats, lunches) are to be made directly to the office only, not to the classroom.

The Boyertown Area School District will have early dismissal days on the following dates:

April 16, 2025

June 3, 4, 5, 6, 2025

AM Kindergarten session will be 8:45-10:35. PM Kindergarten session will be 10:35-12:25.

As many of you know, Boyertown Area School District has a rich history of volunteerism. Last year, we updated our process for managing volunteers and their required clearances, etc. to include the Raptor software platform already in place throughout the district. We are pleased to share that the rollout was a huge success with more than 1,000 volunteers participating in the new process for 2023-2024!

As we approach the start of the 2024-2025 school year, more than 870 of those who registered remain active.

We strongly encourage the remaining 160+ who have expired within Raptor to update their documentation following the instructions received from Raptor.

Finally, we invite those of you who are new parents/guardians to the district, and those of you who want to become new volunteers to do so now. Doing so will ensure that you are ready to join us when volunteer opportunities of interest arise.

Avoid delays. Get started today!

Our volunteer newsletter outlines the process.

Below you will find information regarding health room procedures. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the School Nurses at 610-473-1770.

Medication Information: If your child requires prescription or over-the-counter medication while at school, a medication authorization form must be completed by your physician. Once completed, please submit the paperwork, then contact the health room to schedule an appointment to drop off your child’s medication. Prescription medications must be in an original pharmacy labeled container. Over-the-counter medication must be in original packaging. Please refer to the BASD website for more information.

Returning Paperwork: Please return any health room forms (Physical, Dental, Medication) via email if possible. You can scan and email the original document or email a photograph from your phone to dwilson@boyertownasd.org or ekovach@boyertownasd.org

* Change of clothing: Please keep a change of clothing in your child’s backpack, regardless of their age. Clothing can become soiled due to a bathroom accident, fall outside in the mud, or because of spilling food/drink. The health room may not have appropriately sized clothing, so if your child does have an accident of any sort, a parent will be called to bring clothing in for the child.

We NEED you!! The PTCA needs YOUR help! Your help and support are vital to making our events a success…and do we appreciate it! If you wish to learn more about volunteer opportunities, please visit our Crews Volunteer page by clicking here.
