Student Emergency Card

PTSD is now completing online registration for Penn-Trafford School District’s Student Emergency Information. In the past, students have been given Emergency Cards to take home and have their parents complete and then return. This new FamilyID registration process will take the place of the Emergency Cards. 

ALL Student Families MUST complete this Emergency Information Registration, using the link below, by Friday, August 30th.

PTSD 2019-20 Student Emergency Card Information Registration

The FamilyID online registration will allow you to make changes to your student's Emergency Information at any time during the school year. Notification will be sent to the appropriate school personnel to update your information in PowerSchool. You will not have to make additional notifications.

If you do not have computer or wifi access, please use the chromebook available to you in the main office of the high school.

Please be sure to enter all the required information as you will not be able to submit your student's registration until completed. If you have difficulty with your registration, please feel free to contact FamilyID Support at support@familyid.com or 781-205-2800.

Once your student's information is reviewed, if there is need for follow-up for and Individualized Health Plan due to a medical condition and you have not already submitted the appropriate forms and medical documentations, Nurse Lisa Popovich will contact you. If you have medical concerns for your student, please feel free to contact Nurse Popovich via email at popovichl@penntrafford.org or 724-744-0302.

PTHS students who do not have a completed registration will be placed on Restricted List and will not be able to participate in any Penn-Trafford extracurricular activities.
