While summer is a time for relaxing and spending family time together, it is also a time when a few minutes reading every day can help students maintain or even accelerate their reading comprehension and fluency!
Reading about five to six books of your child's choice over the summer is the best way to help with reading growth. However, if you are in need of reading resources, our reading specialists, Mrs. Jennifer McGlade and Ms. Leah Keyser, have created a 10-week reading comprehension program for both grades 5 and 6 which is available to download and print. You can simply download one 5-day set of interesting text and comprehension questions each week. It should only take about 15-20 minutes each day to complete the program
Happy Reading and Happy Summer!

Starting Monday, March 30th teachers will be providing new instruction online using Google Classroom with the intent of advancing and moving the curriculum forward. Please know that we understand that this is going to be a transition for families, and we are stressing flexibility for families. Instruction will be asynchronous, which means that families will have flexibility as to when in the day they will complete their work.

- The full Instructional Continuation Plan presentation, which was broadcast live on March 26th.
- A written Instruction Guide for parents
- A quick start Google Classroom Guide for parents

- And more!
We understand that this transition may be difficult, but please remember that your Spring-Ford family is here to support you as your family ease into this near learning style. Please take your time in reviewing this information, and watch (or re-watch) the Instructional Continuation Plan presentation.

After 36 years as a Spring-Ford Ram, Dr. Patrick Nugent, Spring-Ford Area High School Principal, has announced that he will retire on August 7, 2020. In a video message to his staff, Dr. Nugent said, "Spring-Ford is a great school district because of you all, our loyal faculty and staff." Dr. Nugent has had a profound impact on the Spring-Ford community, the students, staff, teachers and colleagues who have been fortunate enough to work with him over the last 36 years. It is safe to say that Spring-Ford would not be what it is today without his heart, vision, loyalty and devotion to the school district and community he loves so much.

Spring-Ford S2SS
Click here to submit a S2SS report.
What types of things should I report? If it makes you uncomfortable, submit a tip. It will be up to your school to determine what the next steps are. Do you think someone is going to harm themselves? Did you see something scary that concerns you online? Submit this kind of thing.
Safe2Say Something is the easiest way to let someone know that there is a problem and let them handle it. The best part is, they will never know who it was that submitted it. It’s that simple.
