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.
