Upper Providence Elementary

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.

Please click here to review the Instructional Continuation Plan. On this page, you will find:

• The full Instructional Continuation Plan presentation, which was broadcast live on March 26^th.
• A written Instruction Guide for parents
• A quick start Google Classroom Guide for parents
• A Special Education letter from Mr. Rizzo
• A link to the Technology Support Zoom Room
• The Device Access Request Form
• Technology Support email
• General Questions email
• RAMful Learning Videos
• Achieved Enrichment Activities
• 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.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education just launched the Future Ready PA Index, an online, one-stop shop that provides a clear and easy-to-navigate platform for viewing information on student and school success. The Future Ready PA Index moves beyond focusing solely on standardized test results to evaluate success by using a collection of indicators, which illustrate academic proficiency, college and career readiness, and more. Take a comprehensive look at how our schools are doing in educating and preparing students for success by visiting the new Future Ready PA Index: futurereadypa.org.
