I hope your weekend was filled with some end of summer family fun! Our primary Back to School Night was a great success. Thank you to our primary grade teachers and parents who attended last week. We will have our session for grades 4-6 this Wednesday at 6:30 PM. We will meet in the gym for general information, followed by the classroom teacher presentations. We are looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday.

Student Information Update for 2022-2023

Please be sure to update the Student Information Section on the parent portal. This must be completed each year for ALL students. Updating this emergency form ensures that we can contact you and that you will receive emails and important communications from the school and district. Please update as soon as you can! Thank you for your attention to this.

On Thursday, our Ambassadors helped us kick off our welcome back assembly with some great presentations on the traits of the Doyle 5. They did a fantastic job sharing examples of how we implement the Doyle 5 here at school and in our community. In addition, Soarin', our school mascot, made an appearance too! The children were so excited to celebrate the beginning of the year, and even more excited to receive their new "Team Doyle: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!" T-shirts! It was awesome to see the sea of blue and Doyle School Spirit shining through!

The fee for students in grades 3-6 will be $15. MyPaymentsPlus opened on August 15th. There is no fee for grades K-2.

Eligible families are strongly encouraged to apply for Free & Reduced lunch status. The information in this newsletter will help walk you through the process. Lunches are no longer free for all students. If you believe you may be eligible and have not completed the application, please do so as soon as possible.

CBSD is currently accepting applications for Free & Reduced Lunch. Students who qualify for the Free and Reduced School Meals Program may also qualify for a variety of needs-based assistance based on their program eligibility. Federal law requires the family’s consent before Central Bucks School District can use or share eligibility status for purposes other than the provision of free or reduced lunch. This information will only be shared if you consent to help provide needs-based assistance to your student that may be beneficial to your family. Your decision to share or not share this information will not in any way affect your eligibility status for the Free and Reduced School Meals Program; it is completely optional.

If your student(s) qualifies for the Free and Reduced School Meals Program, you will receive a notification of a document that needs your attention in the Parent Portal. The Free/Reduced Lunch Information Sharing Consent Form requests permission to use the eligibility status to qualify for various needs-based assistance and programming. You may consent for all areas listed below, decline consent to all areas, or provide partial consent. See the link below for instructions to complete this consent form.
