Tawanka welcomes a new principal!

Neshaminy is very pleased to welcome Robin Klaiber as the new Principal of Tawanka Elementary School effective July 1. She will be replacing Acting Principal Donald Palmer, who is returning to his former position as Assistant Principal at Poquessing Middle School.

Robin comes to Tawanka from her current position as Assistant Principal at Penn Valley Elementary School and Cynwyd Elementary School in Narberth, PA. Previously she held administrative positions in North Carolina and New Mexico, and was a classroom teacher in New Jersey. She is a graduate of Muhlenberg College in Allentown and received her MA in School Administration, Supervision and Curriculum Planning from Georgian Court University in Lakewood, NJ.

New vaccination requirements

The vaccination requirements for all students in Pennsylvania have changed, and these changes could potentially affect all students. Students in grades K-12 now must have received four doses of polio vaccine, and in addition the fourth dose has to be administered on or after the 4th birthday and at least 6 months after the previous dose given. Please review these and other changes by reading this document from the PA Department of Health. If you have further questions, please consult your family healthcare provider.

ALL AFFECTED STUDENTS MUST HAVE THESE NEW VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS COMPLETED WITHIN 5 DAYS OF THE START OF SCHOOL OR THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND.

We're hiring!

Neshaminy has a number of opportunities for employment available for certified and non-certified positions throughout the district. Visit our employment web page for information on current vacancies and application materials.

Supplemental Medical Insurance

 Neshaminy is offering parents and guardians the opportunity to purchase a low-cost primary excess group insurance plan for students to supplement their family medical insurance.  The district does not carry medical insurance on students, and student accident insurance can help you eliminate the possibility of out-of-pocket expenses, since many group insurance policies no longer pay full hospital and medical expenses and may require a deductible or co-insurance.
