New Student Handbook for 2022-2023
For the 2022-2023 school year, Boyertown Area School District has developed a district-wide Student Handbook. The handbook contains four sections:
- Information that applies to all students
- Additional information for our elementary schools
- Additional information for our middle schools
- Additional information for our high school
The revised book has a Table of Contents with hyperlinks that allow you to navigate to topics and sections throughout the document easily. It contains links to our forms, website, and the Board of School Directors' policies.
We have chosen to leave the 'DRAFT' watermark in place. Throughout the coming months, this document will continue to undergo reviews and revisions – specifically focusing on format, grammar, and eliminating redundancy.
While the book is marked 'DRAFT,' the processes and procedures outlined are in effect and enforceable. The 'DRAFT' status indicates our ongoing review.
We believe that we have captured all the pertinent data included in our three separate handbooks. However, if we need to add or change content, we will update this page with the updated information. In some instances, we may need to notify families via Infinite Campus.

Please contact your building principal if you have any questions or concerns regarding the Student Handbook.

ATTENTION Elementary Families: Student Chromebooks
For the past few years, we have asked the upper elementary grade levels to have students transport their devices to and from school daily. As a result, we have seen a significant increase in damaged devices due to transport. In addition, we also do not have the same urgency to have devices at home due to the changing pandemic status.
Therefore, this year, we are asking that teachers keep devices in the classroom unless there is a need for the student to use a device to complete an activity at home. This means that elementary students will only bring their Chromebooks home for assignments.
We have asked that our teachers review best practices for transporting the Chromebooks before sending them home with your child.
As a reminder, students may NOT place stickers on their Chromebooks.
Thank you for your cooperation!

With that said, for at least the first two weeks of school, we ask that your child arrives at their assigned bus stop at least 15 minutes before their scheduled pick-up time in the morning (or at mid-day for our PM K students). If your child is in K or 1st grade, we also ask that you arrive at the bus stop 15 minutes early at the end of their day.
