If you would like to donate much needed classroom supplies, please see the Classroom Supply Wish List in the Announcement Links below. Your donations are greatly appreciated!
Permission to Pick Up Student
We are continually striving to provide a safe and secure environment for all of our students. As such, we are asking for parents to provide names of all persons permitted to pick up their children. Verbal confirmation and a permission slip from parents/guardians will still be need to be turned in to the front office if someone will be picking up a student. If the person is not on the approved list, the student will not be permitted to leave. Administration will give the final approval as to whether a student is permitted to leave with someone other than a parent/guardian. If you have not recieved the Permission to Pick Up Student Form, please print one from the Announcement Links below and return it promptly.
School Reach Communication System
If you have not recieved the form to have your phone numbers added to the School Reach Communication System, please print the form listed in Announcement Links and return it to the school. This system will notify you in the even of snow days, early dismissals, two-hour delays, and any peritinent reminders concerning school.
New Cafeteria Policy
As a courtesy to all Turkeyfoot Valley Students and Families, the school will be sending out a School Reach reminder call to you that your child has reached a lunch account balance of $5.00. Once your child’s lunch account has reached $10.00, written notification will be mailed reminding you of your child’s cafeteria obligation. Finally, once your child has reached a $15.00 charge limit in the cafeteria and they still wish to have school lunch, your child will receive an “Alternative Lunch.” The alternative lunch will consist of a cheese sandwich, applesauce cup and white milk, until payment is received on your child’s lunch account. Please know that you may always pack your child’s lunch as an alternative as well.
Vo-Tech Calendar
Every year there are a few days when Turkeyfoot School has early dismissals or days off and the Somerset County Technical Center (SCTC) does not. To avoid confusion, we are going to give you a list of those days, so that you are able to make arrangements in advance. Please see the form under the Announcment Links.

Distinguished Schools Award
Each year, PDE/Division of Federal Programs honors Title 1 schools making AYP for two or more consecutive years in addition to making a substantial percentage gain on PSSA from one year to another. It has just been announced that Turkeyfoot Elementary School will be awarded the Distinguished Schools Award based on that criteria. PSSA results showed that our Reading scores had a 36.7 % proficiency gain between 2011 and 2012 . There were only six other schools in the whole state that made larger gains and each of those school’s gains were in a single subgroup with a much smaller pool of students. Congratulations to each and every one of you….. For more information look in the Announcement Links below.
The Pennsylvania Taxpayer Relief Act, Act 1 of 2006
The legal term for this is a “Homestead or Farmstead Exclusion.”was signed into law on June 27, 2006 to allow school districts to reduce property taxes by lowering your property tax bill. You must apply for the tax relief by filing a Homestead Exclusion application. To file an application please see the Act 1 links below.
