Please call the Attendance Hotline at (610) – 705 - 6002 and use the fourth option from the main menu or email dalle@spring-ford.net if your child is ill and not able to complete their online assignments for the day. This is the same procedure that was previously used throughout the current school year.

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.
If you are in immediate need of help, call 9-1-1 or go to your local area hospital Emergency Department, or call the Montgomery County Mobile Crisis Support number:
