We are looking for Homeroom Parents for each class! The primary responsibility of Homeroom Parents is to work closely with the teacher in organizing the 3 class Socials for the 2023/24 school year. All Socials run for 1 hour from 2-3 PM. Prior to each Social you will create a letter to be sent home to all parents in your class (an example will be provided). This is usually sent from the teacher directly to the parents with your name as contact. The Socials include time to complete a craft, play a game and enjoy a snack. You will coordinate these activities as well as a maximum of four parent volunteers who may attend and help with each social.

If you are interested in becoming a Homeroom Parent for your child’s classroom, please fill out the Google Form below by Friday, September 15th. One Homeroom Parent will be selected per class. Parents can only be selected as a Homeroom Parent for one classroom per school year. All Homeroom Parent questions/concerns should be directed to the HSA Board at board@salfordhillshsa.org. You will be notified on September 18th if you have been selected.

Homeroom Parents are responsible for organizing and supervising the 3 classroom socials throughout the school year:

· Fall Social on Tuesday Oct. 31st at 2pm

· Winter Social on Friday, December 22nd at 2pm (*Date change*)

· Valentine's Day Social on Wednesday, February 14th at 2pm

As always, we appreciate your willingness to help at Salford Hills!

Please complete the below information if you choose to pick up your child(ren) as a daily car rider. A car rider once or twice can be handled with a simple note to the office on the morning of the change.
Upon completing this information, you will receive a school-issued name placard for each person listed. The name placard must be placed on the passenger side dashboard, so it is visible through the front windshield of your vehicle. Children will only be allowed to leave in vehicles with school-issued name tags. If you do not have the placard, you will be asked to pull forward to physically sign out your child.

If your child will be a car rider, please send a note into their teacher letting them know you will be picking them up.

Our Salford Hills C.R.O.P.S. Garden flourished all summer long thanks to the help of more than 35 families! After families had the opportunity to swap (or simply take) fruits and veggies, the rest of our produce was donated weekly to Keystone Opportunity Center, a food bank in Souderton. Our garden really highlights what a “caring community of learners” we have, just like our school song says! Thank you to all the helpers who made this growing season so successful.

Interested in helping next spring/summer? No experience necessary! Look for a bright green flyer in the spring seeking families to help.

For example, help during a specific event, assist in organizing an event, lead a committee, help in your child's classroom, and more.
