Attention all Radnor Township School District Parents: Action needed for the RTSD Online Student Directory! Starting NOW, please register your child for your school’s 2013-2014 Student Directory. All RTSD PTO’s and the RHS PTSA have joined forces to create one common online Student Directory Registration Website. The directories will still be printed and school specific, but now you can register ONLINE. Also, once you register your child, you will never have to register your child again. The information after this year will roll with your child until he/she graduates. You will be responsible for updating your record if your personal information changes or you need to withdraw a child from RTSD prior to graduation. NOTE: RHS families who registered online last year will have their information already in this system and can use their existing user name and password. You will need to add any additional family members to that record. Any questions, please contact your PTO/PTSA President. Click here to get started now.
