SFAHS Philosophy
Spring-Ford Area High School Philosophy
Spring-Ford Senior High's philosophy is based on the premise that all students should be provided with opportunities to acquire the knowledge and develop the skills essential to survive and prosper in a changing world. The school encourages students to recognize both their needs and abilities and to develop appropriate skills guided by the expertise of the professional staff. The school has a duty to educate and to motivate students in developing their inherent potential for effective use in higher education, vocations, and avocational interests. Spring-Ford also has an obligation to awaken all students to their responsibilities to society and to prepare concerned and functioning citizens who will base judgments on sound, critical standards, who will make logical decisions, and who will shape their society with enthusiasm, and with discretion. The school encourages all students to develop self-confidence and value themselves as individuals, knowing that a positive self-image is the foundation of responsible citizenship and humane acceptance of those who differ in their cultural heritage. Finally, the school endeavors to create an environment in which the goals of quality education can be attained for the benefit of the students it educates and the community it serves.

9th Grade Center
9TH GRADE CENTER STUDENT DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP
Over the past several years, traffic patterns and parking procedures have been carefully monitored to ensure the safety of all and to expedite traffic movement. In an effort to alleviate the congestion in the parking lot connecting the 8th and 9th Grade Centers, we are requiring all 9th Grade Center students to be dropped off in the auditorium parking lot of the 9th Grade Center. We request all parents enter and exit the 9th Grade Center via Lewis Road. Student pick-up after school should follow the same traffic pattern and pick-up should also occur in the auditorium parking lot.
Please adhere to the following directions and traffic patterns. You may refer to the map included with this notice.
From 7:10 A.M. until all buses have departed (approximately 7:35 A.M.); all students are to be dropped off in the auditorium parking lot at the 9th Grade Center. Parents are to exit the same route leaving the campus via Lewis Road. Please avoid the 8/9 Center parking lot areas. At these times, these areas are for school buses only and Lewis Road is congested during these times. Students will enter door 7 and then report directly to the cafeteria or gymnasium lobby.
During standard arrival and departure times the bus lane located in the front of the building is not permitted for student drop off or pick up. Please adhere to these guidelines.
If you arrive after 7:35 please drop off at the main entrance (Door #1) and ring the buzzer and the office staff will unlock the door for you.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. This will expedite the pick-up and drop-off process and ensure a safer situation for all.
10-12 Center
From 7:10 AM until approximately 7:35 AM, when all busses have departed, all students are to be dropped off in the auditorium parking lot at the 10-12 Center (door 18 or 23) using any driveway off Lewis Road and navigate to door 18 or 23 by using one of the two driveways nearest the student parking lots. Parents are to exit the same route leaving the campus via Lewis Road. Please avoid the 8/9 Center parking lot areas as these areas are for school buses only and Lewis Road is congested during these times. Students will enter door 18 or 23 and report to designated student areas within the building.
The bus lane or the visitor parking lot located in the front of the building is not permitted for student drop off or pick up, during standard arrival and departure times. Please adhere to these guidelines.
If you arrive after 7:35 AM please drop off at the main entrance (Door #1) and ring the buzzer, office staff will then admit you into the building.
