Hello EXE families,

I am incredibly excited to join EXE as Principal! Throughout the interview process, I fell in love with the community. The teachers, families, administrative team, and School Board showed me what makes our school a special place!

For those of you I haven’t met yet, I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I’ve loved learning since I was five in Mrs. Hoffman’s Kindergarten classroom! My passion and purpose have focused on education for nearly 30 years. I have served as a classroom teacher, reading specialist, Title I Coordinator, and Assistant Principal. Student growth and achievement have been central to my roles over the years and will continue to be in my new role at Exton Elementary. I look forward to partnering with our teachers, staff, and families to create a positive learning environment for our students that educates and inspires them to achieve their personal best.

On a personal note, I live in the Kennett Square area with my husband. We have three daughters, Rebecca, Julia, and Isabella, who are thriving in their careers and educational paths from speech pathology, health care, and aviation. Our youngest daughter will be headed off to college this year, reminding me that time flies.

I would love to start meeting some of our families ahead of our new school year. I’ll host two “Popsicles with the Principal” events on August 1and 10 from 3:00-4:00 PM. All are welcome to join me on one of those dates to enjoy popsicles and some playtime on our playground!

I am honored to serve the Exton Elementary community. I look forward to getting to know everyone and supporting our students as they grow, learn, and achieve their personal best.

With EXE pride,

Kristin Bulgarelli

Kindergarten- Immunizations must be compliant with state law by 9/5/23. Dental and physical exams are due by 10/30/23.

Current 2nd Graders- Your child is required to have a dental exam in his/her 3rd grade school year (2023-2024). This is not a new requirement, but WCASD now has a provisional period of 60 days from the start of school. This means your child’s dental exam report is due on or before 10/30/23. This deadline is a long time off, but the nurse can accept upcoming or recent dental reports any time and update your child’s health record now. Exams must have been after 7/1/22.

Current 5th Graders- Your child is required to have a physical exam in his/her 6th grade school year (2022-2023). This is not a new requirement, but WCASD now has a provisional period of 60 days from the start of school. This means your child’s physical exam report is due on or before 10/30/23. This deadline is a long time off, but I can accept upcoming or recent physical reports any time and update your child’s health record now, before I forward it. Exams must have been after 7/1/22. If you get reports after the end of the year, they should be forwarded to the middle school nurse, Shannan Criscuolo, Fugett Middle School, 500 Ellis Lane, West Chester, PA 19380, SCriscuolo@wcasd.net.

Our PTO works hard to provide the school with activities and fund raisers to support Exton. The Board cannot do all of the planning, nor should they. To that end, there are open committee positions that need chairs and volunteers. Please consider volunteering for a committee or two, this coming school year.

Committees: Assemblies, Bingo Night, Eagle's Nest (New Families Ambassador Program), Eagle's Pride Walk-A-Thon, Movie Nights, Spirit Wear, Spring Fair, Teacher Meals, Trunk-or-Treat, Memory Book, Garden/Beautification to name a few. If you have questions, email ExtonPTO@gmail.com.
