Principal's Corner
Welcome Back!
Welcome back, Vernfield families! We had a fantastic first week of school as students settled into new routines, reconnected with friends and teachers, and began an exciting year of learning together. We also had fun creating a special video featuring our Summer Challenge highlights. Click the link below to check it out.
Transportation Updates
Transportation by bus is the preferred method for students traveling to and from school. There may be times, however, when you need to drop off or pick up your child. If you plan to make any changes to your child's usual transportation arrangements, please notify both your child's teacher and the attendance office at attendvf@soudertonsd.org.
If your child will have a consistent change in transportation throughout the school year, such as daily car rider or attendance at Kids Care, please be sure to communicate those arrangements with your child's teacher and the attendance office at attendvf@soudertonsd.org so we can ensure a smooth and safe transition each day.
Cafeteria Updates
Families can manage their student's meal account through https://www.myschoolbucks.com/
On this website you can add funds, check balances, view purchases, and set low fund notifications. You can add money to your child's account through this website. You can also send money to school in an envelope labeled with your child's name and ID number. Cash or checks made payable to "SASD Cafeteria Account" are accepted.
Lunch menus and nutrition facts are available at https://soudertonsd.nutrislice.com/menu or the Nutrislice app.
Back to School Night
Please join us for Back to School Night on September 10. This special evening provides an opportunity to meet your child's teacher and learn more about the exciting year ahead. We understand this is a busy time of the year and we truly appreciate your attendance. Please note the purpose of the evening is for parents to focus on curriculum, procedures, expectations, and volunteer opportunities. If you need time to discuss your child's individual needs or performance, please schedule a later time that is mutually convenient for the teacher and you. Session 1 will begin at 6:00 PM, and Session 2 will begin at 6:50 PM. We look forward to seeing you there!
