Drop off & Dismissal Safety is a top priority at the Penn Kidder Campus. Your cooperation is essential in ensuring safety on our campus and in our parking lot. You can help keep our students safe by following our procedures.
Students must be dropped off at the designated curb area in the back of the building from 8:10 - 8:30.
Please do not get out of your car, as this will only hold up the others waiting in line.
DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD OFF IN THE FRONT LOT before 8:30.
All those who wish to use Parent Pick-Up or early dismissal must have this information logged into Pick-Up Patrol by 2:30 PM.
Transportation The Jim Thorpe Area School District provides transportation through our partner Rohrer Transportation for all students who require it. If you have any questions or changes to your child's transportation, please contact transportation at 570-732-5134. Activity Bus Students must sign up for the activity bus no later than 11:00AM or you will not be able to ride after school activity transportation. The return bus will depart the high school at 6:10PM.
Breakfast and Lunch Each student will receive a free breakfast and lunch for the 24/25 school year. The district is now participating in the Community Eligibility Program. You don't need to do anything for your students to receive the free meals.
Please note: Snacks will still be available for purchase. Transactions for snacks will be cashless, but checks, cash and money orders will be accepted in a sealed envelope clearly labeled with your child’s name, and should be handed to a Food Service team member at the breakfast station, or school office.
Deposits for student snacks can also be made online at the following website:
https://www.schoolcafe.com/jtasd. You can also download the SchoolCafe app for iOS or Android to complete these tasks.
***VERY IMPORTANT***
If at any time your phone number, address, or email changes, please contact the office as soon as possible to make those changes as correspondence is sent out quite frequently through these areas.
