Dear Parents and Guardians:
We’re excited to welcome you and your child to the new school year, beginning Monday, August 24th. Transportation and bus pass details will be sent to eligible students shortly. If you haven’t received them by Friday, August 21st, please call the Transportation Office at 610-861-0360.
Our regular school hours are 8:05 a.m. to 3:05 p.m., but the first day has a special schedule. Sixth-grade students should arrive at 8:05 a.m. Seventh- and eighth-graders will begin three hours later, at 11:05 a.m. This staggered start allows sixth-graders to get comfortable with their new environment. During this time, they’ll meet their teachers and classmates, locate their lockers, visit classrooms, and participate in orientation activities. Buses will run on the adjusted schedule for seventh- and eighth- graders (just add three hours to the scheduled pick-up time on the bus card).
Please make note of your child’s homeroom. Students will report to this location upon arrival on the first day (see arrival/dismissal map for arrival gathering location.) Full schedules will be available for review in the Synergy ParentVUE and StudentVue apps as of August 17th. If you need assistance with your log-in information, please reach out to the main office.
For safety reasons, our parking lot is off-limits on all school days. Parking lot related congestion requires that all student drop-offs and pick-ups be restricted to Chester Road to ensure student safety.
We have an active parent association and warmly invite you to join in. The first meeting is on Wednesday, September 2, at 9:30 a.m. in the Parent Center. Additionally, we encourage your child to participate in our many extracurricular activities throughout the year.
Mark your calendar for Open House on Thursday, September 3, at 6:00 p.m. For up-to-dateinformation, calendars, and staff contact details, please visit our website:

We look forward to a fantastic school year at East Hills Middle School. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we’ll see you soon!
Sincerely,
David M. Horvath, Principal

In addition to Synergy ParentVUE accounts, parents whose children are in middle school or high school should also have a Schoology Parent account. Synergy is the District’s student information system. Schoology is the district’s learning management system. Synergy and Schoology are both used to support your child’s learning. For parents who already had a Schoology account, there is no change and no further action is needed. If there is a East Hills student missing on your current Schoology account, please email awest@basdschools and request that student to be added. |
