Neshaminy School District Comprehensive Plan 2024-2027

Every three years, the district is required to submit a plan to the Pennsylvania Department of Education outlining priorities, goals and action plans to achieve those goals. The current plan will be considered by the Neshaminy School Board at their September Board Public Meeting. The community is invited to read the plan here and to submit feedback on the plan using a special email, cpcomments@neshaminy.org.

Core Creek Elementary School Redistricting Plan

With the planned opening of Core Creek Elementary School in January, 2025, all students from Pearl S. Buck ES will attend the new school. Additional limited changes to some other elementary school zones will also be made at the start of the 2025-2026 school year to match student population with building capacities. The School Board is currently considering several plans for these changes which can be viewed here.

Every Student, Every Day

As we transition from summer to the 2024-2025 school year, we want to remind our Neshaminy families that every student's attendance, every day, is crucial to their academic success. We need your support to instill the habit of regular school attendance. It's important to understand that students who miss school frequently are at risk of lower academic achievement, failure, and even dropping out. CLICK HERE for more information about the importance of regular attendance and Neshaminy's attendance policies.

Food4Troops

Please help Mr. Weldie collect items for our deployed soldiers. 

Last fall Mr. Weldie and his Maple Point students collected Halloween candy and shipped boxes to our soldiers station in S. Korea, and Africa.  This year they will be collecting the various items most requested by our soldiers.  Financial help is welcome, as the postage is usually greater than the cost of the items in the box.

This is a true community effort for students, parents/guardians, and our soldiers.  Mr. Weldie will continue to send boxes as long as items keep coming in.

From the SWPBIS Committee

We are excited to announce that Maple Point Middle School has kicked off their SWPBIS program this school year.  SWPBIS stands for School Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.  The philosophy behind this program includes reducing problem behavior, increasing student engagement, improving academic performance and improving family involvement within the school district.  We are looking for donations to reward positive behavior in students and staff.  The SWPBIS program can only achieve its goals with the generosity from members of our community.  Without these donations, creating the SWPBIS program would not be possible.

Since the start of the SWPBIS program, we have relied on the generosity of individuals like you.  We ask you to consider a donation to our program.  Any contribution is welcome, as students are constantly being rewarded for their MP3 behavior.  (Examples of gift cards: Five Below, ITunes, Chick-Fil-A, Amazon, etc...)  Checks made out to Maple Point and cash are also welcome.  We hope that you will support our efforts.  Any donations can be brought to school with your child and delivered to the main office during the school day.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.
