Help us chalk the walk
Let's show our teachers how special they are with positive messages and pictures galore! We are hopeful that we can fill the entire front entrance like we did last year.
Please bring your own chalk.
Back to School Information Review
In order to ensure proper communication with parents, it is critical that we have current contact information on record. Updates to mailing address information must be presented in person at the Souderton Area School District Registration Office. Updates to phone numbers and email address information must be provided in writing to your child(ren)'s school.
Information Review:
Please complete and return the Back-to-School 2021-2022 Information Review, available at the link below, for each of your children that attend Souderton Area School District. The review includes required policy and procedure agreements, as well as important weather-related and health information.
Completed forms should be returned to your child's school no later than Friday, September 3rd, 2021.
BACK-TO-SCHOOL 2021-2022 INFORMATION REVIEW:
Kindergarten/First Grade Family Orientation
HSA board members will be offering Zoom orientation sessions that allow these new families the opportunity to learn more about Vernfield, and to ask questions related to school activities and the HSA. Be on the look out for more information coming home in the first few weeks of school!
Online Vernfield Calendar
Please keep in mind that this is a subscribed calendar maintained by Home & School. Every effort will be made to keep it up-to-date, but the Vernfield printed and online calendar (Vernfield website) are the official school calendars. The subscribed calendar includes the dates of events most relevant to all families; grade-specific events and activities are not included.
If you click on the link, many applications will just open it correctly. If it doesn't open automatically, look up how to add a 'subscribed calendar' (iCal format) for your calendar app.
If you have any questions, please contact Mandy Merrill at amhansen@gmail.com
Volunteer at Vernfield!
In the coming weeks, be on the lookout for the "Hands Across the District" survey, where you can choose from a variety of volunteer opportunities at Vernfield. We will also be providing information for new Vernfield families on how to obtain security clearances, which will be needed in order to volunteer in the school.
We look forward to a busy school year!
