In support of National Bus Safety Week, students will see our SASD police officers riding some District busses or see their police cars driving behind busses from October 19th through October 23rd.

Students have nothing to worry about during this time. This is all in support of National Bus Safety week, supporting our bus drivers, and promoting bus safety.

Picture retake day will be October 27th. This day is also for those students who missed the original picture day.

Any student can have their picture retaken. If you are having a picture retaken, the complete original photo package must be handed to the photographer on October 27th.

Students will soon be coming home with their MAP Family Report. This report will show your child's growth over time. Please remember this assessment is only one assessment among the many assessments we give at Salford Hills. It is common to see student progress go up and down over time, and dips here and there should not be a cause for concern. What we are looking to see on this assessment is a general trend upward as students progress though each grade level.

If you would like more information about this assessment, please see the MAP Family Toolkit.

Last chance to get your Salford Hills gear! The store will be open until this Friday, Oct. 23rd. Please allow 3-4 weeks from the date the store closes for your items. Click the link below to order.

At the October Spirit Assembly, 3 new student artists were announced for the Budding Imaginations Gallery in the Kindergarten hallway. Congratulations Parker Radcliff, Gavin Vesci, and Coraline Avram!

We are so proud of your creativity and skillful attention to detail!

Last week, the Souderton Area School District kicked off the “Farm to Fork” Program. “Farm to Fork” was designed to demonstrate community health and stewardship through hands-on, agricultural and science-based classroom learning that centers on how local food is grown. Adoption into SASD curriculum was initiated by Almac Group and championed in collaboration with the Indian Valley Education Foundation (IVEF) and Garden of Health Food Bank, who will serve as advisors to the program.

Third grade students at Salford Hills have the opportunity to attend the Board Game Club after school. In this club, students get the opportunity to learn and play many different board games with no electronics.

The Home & School Association helps to plan events and Teacher Appreciation, coordinate volunteers for classroom activities, and so much more. But none of this happens without plenty of helping hands. Sadly, this is the last year for some of our best volunteers.

So we need you now more than ever to ensure these events can continue!

There are so many ways to serve at Salford Hills, both big and small. We would love to see you at our monthly meetings or you can reach out if you are interested in learning more at board@salfordhillshsa.org. Whether you are the parent of a Kindergartener or a 5th grader, it's never too late to get involved!

Meetings are a great opportunity to meet other parents, learn about HSA events and discover different ways to get involved and volunteer -- big or small. We need you now more than ever! Bring your ideas, concerns, or questions to the Board and allow the kids to play since childcare is always provided at no cost! We hope you'll join us!

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 be 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.

In order to be contacted regarding these opportunities, you must join our volunteer list by filling out the form below (you must fill this out each year).

Thank you! 😊

** Please note that all prospective volunteers must complete & submit the SASD Community Volunteer Registration and Disclosure Statement found on the SH Volunteering website each year.**

Clearances should be submitted to Mrs. Landis in the main office or at jlandis@soudertonsd.org.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you can reach out via board@salfordhillshsa.org to contact all four board members: president (Heather Zeigler), vice-president (Desiree Bonkoski), secretary (Amy Burns), treasurer (Adria Zane).

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.
