The Salford Hills Lip Sync will be held Friday, March 22 from 6:30-8:30pm at Indian Crest Middle School.

The Lip Sync is a Souderton tradition. It is an opportunity for students to showcase talents of lip sync and dancing for 90 seconds of their favorite (school appropriate) song. Students participate with groups of their choice or as brave individuals! They create routines to their favorite songs and showcase their talents on stage while families and friends cheer them on. It is a fun-filled and entertaining evening! Get your groups ready and start brainstorming songs and routines!

All participants will need to be registered for this event. Please complete the Lip Sync Sign Up and Song Google Form by Friday, Feb. 16

5th Grade Blue Crew was hard at work this week working on leadership qualities and ways to make Salford Hills even better!

As part of their playshop, kindergarten put together an animal care center.

Students went on a noun hunt! They found out that nouns are everywhere!

4th graders use yarn to learn how to weave small colorful blankets.

110 students representing each of the 6 Souderton elementary schools played in the Honors Orchestra Concert at Souderton High School. Parents were treated to a night of wonderful music!

Reading and writing dovetail nicely as fifth graders use a variety of sources (websites, videos, and texts) to learn about self-selected research topics and then share their learning through writing.

Fifth graders enjoyed playing Exponent Ball, a game that combined some strategy and some luck and looked a lot like football, in the week leading up to the Super Bowl!

To celebrate World Read Aloud Day, we enjoyed hearing some authors read their books to us. Room 52 really liked Sankofa by Eric Adjepong, weaves together his love of cooking (He’s a chef!) and his family history in his story about a boy who at first is embarrassed by his family’s culture and food. Afterwards, we shared recipes that our own families love sharing and passing down or cooking together.

Our next Home & School Meeting will be Tuesday Feb. 13th at 6pm in the cafeteria. Please join us to meet other parents, learn about HSA events and volunteer opportunities, as well as bring any ideas, concerns, or questions to the Board. Childcare will be provided. We hope to see you there!

Souderton Area School District will occasionally use Flexible Instructional Days (FID) rather than traditional “snow days.” Here is a brief reminder of FID expectations:

• A FID is considered a school day. To be counted as attending school, students must respond to the Schoology discussion post/question posted by their teacher. Students must respond to the post by 10:00AM. If a child is unable to access the Internet, then the parent should call the school office at 610-287-9197 to leave a message on the attendance line indicating that the student was unable to access Schoology to answer the discussion post/question.

• Students must complete schoolwork via Schoology. There will be no live sessions. Children may complete schoolwork at a time that is convenient for their family. Your child’s teacher is available, via e-mail, throughout the school day to answer any questions that you or your child have regarding their schoolwork.

• Students or families experiencing technology problems may contact the Student Help Desk for technology support. A link to the Student Help Desk is available by clicking here. Before submitting a support request, please follow the three steps below:

1. Restart your device (power off and power back on).

2. Check that your device is not in airplane mode.

3. Check that the wireless connection is enabled.

In preparation for your child's use of a 1-to-1 device in the 2023-2024 school year, please complete the Mobile Device Use Agreement and pay the device protection fee. Please see the details below.

1-to-1 EQUIPMENT: STUDENT DEVICES/CHARGERS/CASES
COMPLETE AGREEMENT / PAY FEE
Each year, the student/parent mobile device use agreement must be completed, and the device protection fee must be paid, via one of the methods below.

• Option 1 - Complete agreement and pay fee online.
  *Note: If you have never paid through Pay Online/RevTrak, you will need to create an account.
  
• Option 2 - Print agreement and make payment in-person: Complete and sign the Student/Parent Agreement (English | Spanish | Vietnamese). Please send the signed agreement and payment for the device fee to school with your child.

***Student ID's can be found in your Home Access Center Account***

Devices will be distributed to students during the first week of school.
