Place markers will be set up to help students remain socially distanced while they wait to have their picture taken. Since we will be outside, a rain date of October 2 has also been scheduled. Please note the picture schedule below. Hybrid students will take their pictures during the time they are at Blythe Park, and remote students will come to school during the lunch hour.

Please complete your Blythe Park School Directory verification by Friday, October 2nd.
This year the PTA will once again offer a secure online Blythe Park School Directory (available to all Blythe Park families) and a printed directory (available with your PTA membership).
In an effort to create an accurate and timely directory, we are using an online system to allow parents to verify/edit their own directory listings.
All Blythe families were sent an email with their Auto Login Link asking them to verify their household information for the Blythe Park School Directory. Please complete your verification by Friday, October 2nd.
This process should take no more than 5 minutes.
Once you complete the verification, you will be connected to Blythe Park’s online directory!
Families have the ability to edit, update, add, or remove their own information. (This information will also be used for the print directory.)
If you did not receive your Login Link, please contact Maria D’Amico at blytheparkpta@yahoo.com

Our Fall author visit has been canceled. However, Aaron Renyolds of Creepy Carrots and Nerdy Birdie sent us the following message:
Hey there!
So bummed that we’re having to postpone our author visit this fall! I know you and your kids and teachers are as well. To help soften the blow, I’ve created this video, so that they can hear it directly from me. Please feel free to play this for them, share it, across the school, and use it in any way that benefits you.
Can’t wait until things are normal again and I can visit in person. Until then, know that you are a rock star and I’m cheering you on for all your efforts, flexibility, and perseverance during these times!
