The beginning of the school year is an exciting time, filled with new experiences, new classes, and lots of new learning. Stay tuned to this page for the most up-to-date information about the return to school in 2023-24.
Update Contact, Emergency Info & Required Forms
The 2023-24 Back-to-School Parent Portal opened on Wednesday, August 9, 2023.
Through the portal, parents/guardians will need to review contact, medical and emergency information for their child(ren) and submit required forms. A 15-digit code, which will be required to access the portal, will be sent to families via direct email when the portal opens.
Families are asked to submit their child(ren)'s information by end of day Monday, September 4, 2023.
For more information, visit the Back-to-School Parent Portal webpage. Questions? Email RTSD Central Registrar Amelia Dougherty.
Free Breakfast for All Students
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro announced that the state would be funding free breakfasts for all Pennsylvania students for the 2023-24 school year. RTSD will be participating in this program and encourages all students to start the school day off right by taking advantage of this complimentary meal.
