Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome back to a new school year! We hope you all had a wonderful summer filled with
relaxation, adventure, and precious family time. As we embark on another exciting academic
year, we are thrilled to share some important news.
This year marks a significant and exciting change for our school community. Early C. Davis
Primary and North East Intermediate School have officially merged to create a more cohesive
and comprehensive learning environment for all our students. This merger brings together the
best of both schools, providing enhanced resources, a broader curriculum, and a unified
approach to education that will benefit every student.
As part of this exciting transition, I am honored to serve as the Principal of our newly unified
school. Joining us is our new Assistant Principal, Ms. Katelynn Bailey. Ms. Bailey joins us with
a wealth of experience and a passion for fostering a positive and enriching school experience
for all students. Together, we are committed to ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining the
high standards of excellence our school community expects and deserves.
We understand that change can bring questions and uncertainties, please rest assured that we
are committed to maintaining open lines of communication with you, listening to your concerns,
answering your questions, and working collaboratively with you to support your children's growth and success.
Moving forward, our primary goal remains to provide a safe, supportive, and stimulating
environment where every student can thrive. Please keep an eye out on our district website and
Facebook page for upcoming events and important dates, including our meet the night, where
you will have the opportunity to meet me, Ms. Bailey, and our dedicated teachers, and learn
more about the exciting plans we have for the year ahead.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we will make this school year
an exceptional one for all our students.
Warm regards,

The North East Intermediate Elementary (NEIE) School consists of grades 3-5 and makes up one half of the Elementary Center, with Earle C. Davis Primary comprising the other half of the building. In the truest sense of the words, collaboration and teamwork are essential as the staffs of both buildings work collectively in educating our elementary students. Areas such as the gymnasium, cafeteria, library, and many other common locations are shared by all students and faculty in the building. While housed under one roof, staffs of both schools work closely together to create a seamless elementary program.
The Intermediate Elementary school is filled with motivated learners eager to continue their journey of learning that was begun in the Primary School. A key theme at NEIE is the concept of departmentalization. This term means that teachers in each grade level have a focused content area that they are responsible to instruct on a daily basis. In turn, the students begin to “travel” and are taught by several teachers throughout each school day. Students are exposed to a variety of content including: language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, art, library, music, aquatics, and physical education. They also are given every opportunity to engage and interact with technology, both in their classrooms as well as in the computer lab.
The PA Core Standards drive the overall curriculum at the Intermediate School. To this end, instructional content is heavily geared to meeting the requirements found within the PA Core. Students will begin to be tested on state PSSA assessments in third grade. These assessments are entirely aligned to the PA Core and serve as one measure of effectiveness for student learning. It is important to note that both student achievement and student growth are key concepts for the staff at NEIE. It is a philosophical tenet of the Intermediate School administration and faculty that parent involvement is critical to the learning process of children. We strive to build connections and maintain open lines of communication with parents to maximize the learning possibilities for all students. As we continue the academic and extracurricular development of our students in school, we ask for the continued support of all parents at home as well. Together, we will truly be successful in growing all learners!
