Dear Panther Parents / Guardians,
Welcome from Pike-Delta-York Middle School, where we are excited to welcome our Panthers back as we get ready for the 2022-2023 school year! Our staff is committed to providing every student with a safe and healthy environment by doing what is best for kids and our community. Our theme for this school year is Don’t Quit, as we’ll focus on making one another reach our potential through positive conversations. As part of that theme, we encourage your Panther to dress in their best clothes every Wednesday and dress together in spirit wear every Friday during the school year.
Students return to class on Wednesday, August 17th. We are sticking with the same bell schedule as last year, with classes starting at 8:10 AM and school dismissing at 2:55 PM. If you plan on keeping your student home absent, our policy is for you to call school that day. A hand-written note must accompany a student and be turned into the office upon one week of their return. Finally, please review the 2022-2023 Student Handbook located on the district website under the Middle School tab in order to become familiar with student dress code and other building policies.
Please be sure to complete the mandatory Returning Student Registration by logging into FinalForms. This is the district process for completing required paperwork to start the school year. Completing the registration process is required in order for a student to pick up their schedule at Open House.

Please note that in order for your student to pick up their device during school on August 17th, you will need to complete and submit the enclosed Technology Protection Assessment form along with the associated premium if you wish for your student to take their device home.
We are grateful for your continued cooperation and support as we partner to ensure a successful year at Pike-Delta-York Middle School. We are well-aware of the commitment on the part of the family it takes to foster a successful school year for a student. Simply put, we could not do it without you! As always, we will work hard to promote the very best interests of all of our students, academically, socially, and emotionally. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me personally.
Sincerely,
William D. Hanak
