Integrated Pest Management

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

The district’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan incorporates a licensed applicator applying pesticides and herbicides to our fields. We strive to complete these applications on the weekends while students are not on district property. Parents/Guardians, on behalf of the students enrolled in the district, may register for prior notification of applications of specific pesticides. To receive notification, you must do the following: 

● Register through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture by completing the Registry of Pesticide Hypersensitivity Individuals Application. 

● Contact the East Penn School District Facilities Department, 800 Pine Street, Emmaus, PA 18049 via a signed letter indicating your child’s name, address, phone number, and the school your child attends. Please include your email address if you would like to be notified electronically. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s registry is published twice a year with the application available online at:
