23-24 Kindergarten Registration OPEN
Do you have a child that will turn 5 years old prior to September 1st, 2023? If so, your child is eligible to attend school in the Perkiomen Valley School District next fall.
Click the link below to begin the online registration (OLR) process:
Once you complete the online registration process and submit all required documentation, please call the South main office at 610-489-2991 or email Kim Jones at kajones@pvsd.org to schedule your registration appointment - Kindergarten registration at South will take place on March 20, 21, 22, and 23rd.
At your registration appointment, we will confirm all registration requirements have been met, and and we will also meet with your child to learn more about their early reading and numeracy skills.
*Feel free to pass along this information to friends or neighbors who have their first child planning to start Kindergarten next year.
Yearbook Update:
Yearbooks are a great way to remember the school year and see hundreds of photos of students and events! They are scheduled to arrive the first week of June. We had a lot of requests after the April 11th purchase deadline, so a limited number of additional soft cover copies were ordered. They are first come, first served, so don't miss out! If interested, please send $18 (cash or check payable to "South Home & School") to school with your child's name, teacher, and "yearbook" written on the envelope. We would love to see all 5th graders with a yearbook- 80% have ordered one so far!
To confirm that you ordered a yearbook, to request to pay with Venmo, or for any questions, please email PVsouthYearbook@gmail.com.
The committee is seeking individuals to replace outgoing members and fill vacancies for lower grades. There is also an opportunity to partner with the current Yearbook Lead and then take over this role in the future. We need people who like taking photos and have flexible schedules to assist with the creation of the yearbook! If you are interested or want to learn more, please send an email to Amanda Zikas at PVsouthYearbook@gmail.com.
