Winter MAP Assessments Coming Soon
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

Flexible Instruction Day (FID) Information
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.
Next Home & School Meeting: Tuesday, Feb. 11th at 6pm in the Cafeteria!
Please join the Home & School Association at our next meeting!
Meetings are 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 you'll join us!
Stay tuned -- January Meeting Minutes Coming Soon!
