2025-26 Back-to-School Central
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 2025-26.
Update Contact, Emergency Info & Required Forms
The 2025-26 Back-to-School Parent Portal will open on August 18, 2025.
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 1, 2025.
For more information, visit the Back-to-School Parent Portal webpage when it opens. Questions? Email RTSD Central Registrar Amelia Dougherty.
Free Breakfast for All Students
Free breakfast for ALL students continues this year! Your student’s breakfast meal contains whole grains, fruit or vegetables and milk. We offer breakfast sandwiches twice a week at all schools. Please encourage your students to eat a free breakfast at school. Starting the day with a healthy meal helps with concentration and success at school, which is why Pennsylvania has included free breakfast for all students in the Commonwealth budget.

Free lunch is available for all students who qualify, in addition any student who qualifies for Reduced priced meals will receive a free lunch (part of state budget).
Meal funds can be added to a student's account here.

Families must complete an application if they think they may be eligible for meals at a free or reduced cost. The application can be completed online or via paper submission. Contact Beth Cooke via email or 610-688-8100 x6048 with questions.
