The Wednesday MESSAGE!

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 21st through October 24th.

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.

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 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.

Time to get your Salford Hills gear!

Featuring the classics, new items and the return of some old favorites!

The store will now be open until this Sunday Oct. 19th. Please allow 3-4 weeks from the date the store closes for your items.

School is just around the corner, and the District has been busy preparing student 1-to-1 devices for instructional use during the upcoming school year. Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, there is a new process for how families will receive their annual student/parent mobile device use agreement/fee. Families will receive an e-mail from Souderton Area SD (webstores@revtrak.net) with an invoice for their student’s mobile device fee. The subject of the e-mail will be "Fee Invoice".

Families will be able to complete their agreement/pay their fee online through the District’s Online Payments system. For families who would like to pay their invoice via cash/check, agreements can be printed and payment made in-person.

Families will receive instructions for completing the agreement and paying the fee via e-mail on the date invoices are sent. No action is necessary today.

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

If you have any questions, please contact the Salford Hills Elementary School office at 610-287-9197.

Please click on the School Menus picture above to see the menus available for breakfast and lunch.

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!

Stay tuned for October meeting minutes

Salford Hills had the first Spirit Assembly last Friday to celebrate all the positivity in our school. We talked about our Core Values of being Safe, Respectful, Responsible, Learners and we also celebrated all of our Blue Crew Award winners!

The Upper Salford Fire Company visited kindergarten to talk with them about fire safety and give a tour of their fire truck.

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.
