Distance Learning Information and Resources
Lunch Distribution
Titus Elementary is a site for lunch distribution every Monday and Thursday from 10:30am to 12:30pm. Lunches will be distributed from the Titus Bus Loop. Please pull into the bus loop, pop your trunk, and then pull up to the bus lobby doors. Mr. and Mrs. Pustay will place the lunches directly into your trunk. You can then pull forward to close your trunk if it does not close on its own.
Please remember that lunches are available for ALL children in the Central Bucks School District. Next week we are going to add some breakfast options as well during distribution.
CBSD Building Facilities and Grounds
Under Governor Wolf's directive, all schools in Pennsylvania are closed until further notice. This closure includes all stadiums, athletic facilities, playgrounds, and parking lots. Our facilities and grounds will remain closed and secured during the governor's stay at home order. Our local police would like to remind us that everyone needs to stay off school properties during this school closure.
Thank you!

Social/Emotional Wellness Fridays
Greetings, everyone!
First of all, I want you all to know that our teachers are working hard for their students and we know you are working hard for them too! Keep up the good work during this unprecedented time. Every Friday, beginning April 17th, there will be a link sent out from Mrs. Pustay to a social/emotional wellness lesson from me. The elementary counselors have pulled our resources together to provide lessons each Friday, so sometimes you will hear from a counselor other than me. Themes include: mindfulness, stress relief, determination, making mistakes, etc. They are meant to be instructional while being low stress. Do not worry about completing any assignments that may be included in the lessons, but use these opportunities to just have conversations with your child(ren) surrounding the topics. If at any time, you feel like you need additional support, please reach out. I am not limited to office hours, and if your email is during the school day hours, I will respond with a time that I am available for a teams meeting or a phone call. I am happy to help!
I hope you and your families are staying healthy during this time. I look forward to seeing the children in school again soon.
