BOARD PRESIDENT’S REPORT President Cunningham reported that she was very happy about school being back in session four days a week.

Many comments that she received after school started were about how well everything was going. SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT Dr. Roche gave an update on increased in-person instruction.

  • The Perkiomen School 2016-17 Community Handbook
    The Perkiomen School 2016-17 Community Handbook 1 Dear Perkiomen Families: Here is the Community Handbook. Although most of our expectations as an institution are similar to other schools, The Perkiomen School is unique. Understanding our culture and being well versed in the general expectations are essential. Please read these guidelines and take them to heart. As with all thriving independent schools, we work best when each of us understands the basic tenets of living and learning together. Structure, support, trust, dignity, respect, and honor go hand in hand to guide students, colleagues, and families toward success here, in college, and in life. The Handbook further outlines the various expectations by which we all live during the year, expectations that build a culture of trust, support, honesty, and integrity that foster a sense of dignity and respect for each other at all times. These are not just words on a page. In order to live and work in this community, we must embrace these behaviors. There are so many important parts to effectively educate children, but it begins with being a presence, physically and emotionally. That means everyone has to pay attention to the school calendar, so it is resoundingly clear that as you plan for your personal holidays you do so without conflicting with the school schedule. We are fortunate to have a wealth of time off as educators; use that time to take care of your other responsibilities in life. During school days your focus must be on Perk. That means you should be scheduling appointments, etc. on your own time unless an emergency arises.
