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

If you are interested in helping to volunteer with this event, please complete the Lip Sync Volunteer Help Google Form.

Please email any questions or concerns to lipsync@salfordhillshsa.org. Thank you!

Home and School is looking at the calendar to reschedule STEM night. Look for either a separate email or in next week's Wednesday Message for more details. We'll send it out as soon as we get a confirmed date.

Room 11 has been starting a new science unit about the zoo. They were able to sort animals in many different ways. Then they learned how to classify animals and sorted them again. Lots of exploring and collaboration.

4th Grade PALs students help 1st grade students learn cooperative games at recess.

During kindergarten playshop, students learned about hibernation, and made homes for their hibernating animals.

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.
