Our Picture Day has been scheduled for Thursday, October 1. Pictures will be taken outside in the amphitheater, and all hybrid and remote students are invited to take their school pictures on this day. 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.
Ordering Pictures:
All orders will take place online. Attached, you will find a flyer that walks you through the ordering process. Should you have any questions. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office for assistance.

Are you interested in helping to document this school year? The PTA is looking for a co-chair for the Blythe Park Yearbook. The yearbook includes wonderful memories not only in the form of photos but also stories, poems, and interviews all written by Blythe Park students. Yearbooks are provided to all students and paid for by the PTA.
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
We hope you will join the PTA for the first time or renew your membership.
Every year, many parents are generous with their time, resources and talents. The PTA can't thank you enough for your participation. We hope you will join once again. While our small school atmosphere is wonderful for our kids, it also means that we do need help, ideas, and support from all our families.
