The Wednesday MESSAGE!

There will be no school on January 19th in observance of Martin Luther King Day.

Students in K-5 will soon be taking their Winter MAP Assessments. These assessments provide growth data for each of our students over the time they attend the Souderton Area School District, and provide teachers with data on what individual students are ready to learn now.

Some things students can do at home to prepare are:

• Get a good night's sleep
• Eat a healthy breakfast
• Try their best on the assessment

If your child is interested in submitting cover art, please see the directions below.

Submissions are due by THIS Friday Jan. 16th 🙂

Submit photos from this year by clicking the flyer below!

As we move into the winter months, below are just a few reminders about Flexible Instruction Days.

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.

If you don't have an official school picture, a close-up of your child from school year 2020-21 will work as well. Please send labeled with First and Last name to memorybook@salfordhillshsa.org.

If you have a fifth grader at Salford Hills we would love some photos of your fifth grader (with his/her classmates) over the years at Salford Hills. If you have photos from socials, Race for Education, field trips, or any other school events, we would appreciate you sharing them with us for the 5th Grade Memory Book. Please do not send any individual photos (other than their Kindergarten photo) or photos of events outside of school. We exclusively need photos of two or more children together from events at Salford Hills. The Memory Book is a gift from Home & School for all 5th graders and does not need to be purchased 😊

You may email photos to memorybook@salfordhillshsa.org.

Please be sure to label the picture with the child's name, grade and teacher name!

We need photos from:

• kindergarten (2020-2021)

• first grade (2021-2022)

• second grade (2022-2023)

• third grade (2023-2024)

• fourth grade (2024-2025)

• fifth grade (2025-2026)

If you have any questions, please feel free to email memorybook@salfordhillshsa.org. Thank you!

Please join the Home & School Association at our next meeting! This is a great opportunity to meet other parents, learn about HSA events and discover different ways to get involved and volunteer. Bring your ideas, concerns, or questions to the Board and allow the kids to play since childcare is always provided. We hope to see you there!

January minutes coming soon...

If you have any interest in potentially volunteering (donating time, talent, funds or food!) at any time throughout the school year, please fill out the Google form below. There will plenty of chances to get involved both in the classroom and at after school events. There is no commitment by filling out the form -- it simply adds you to the email list to be notified about opportunities where you could contribute in some way.

The Salford Hills Reading Olympics Teams have been hard at work reading and practicing for their upcoming competition at Souderton High School.

First grade students are working on their number grids and number scrolls to see how high they can count.

Fundamentally committed to each other, we at Salford Hills are a caring community of learners who value each individual’s intrinsic worth and potential.

In our supportive environment, learners are encouraged to achieve high standards by developing responsibility for their learning through authentic experiences that require hard work, critical thinking and reflection.

Learning is a process that positively impacts the future.
