Welcome Back!
It is hard to believe that we are only a few short weeks away from the start of another school year. Our faculty, staff, and administration are hard at work preparing our school, our classrooms, and our resources for another successful year.
As we get ready to embark on this school year, I wanted to share with you an idea that we are calling the "SGE 3". These are three tenants that we believe everyone must exhibit to make our school a safe, warm, and inviting place.
SGE 3: Be Respectful. Be Responsible. Be Safe.
As the Principal of Spring Grove Elementary School, I am committed to ensuring that all students are given an opportunity to learn in a safe and respectful environment. I believe it is our responsibility to encourage all students to reach their full potential, equip them with the skills and knowledge to achieve their goals, and empower them to reach their fullest potential.
I am honored to be the Principal of SGE and look forward to partnering with you throughout this school year to help your child find success. If you need to reach me, please email me at stacheln@sgasd.org or call (717)225-4731 ext. 2060.
Yours in Education,
Dr. Noah R Stachelek
Principal
Spring Grove Elementary School

They are considered “tardy” at 8:56 AM.
Dismissal: 3:15 PM
- Occasional Car Rider - If you choose to pick up your child at dismissal on any given day, it is extremely important that you notify the school office by email (whites@sgasd.org), sending a note to school with your child, OR by calling the office by 2:00 PM. The occasional car rider will be dismissed from the ART ROOM. (Please see attached map) When writing notes, please be sure to include child’s first and last name, date, and teacher. Please notify the district transportation office, ext. 3024, with any transportation changes. ALWAYS use the cross walk when crossing from the parking lot to/from the car rider door. Please DO NOT cross in between the vans/buses, or permit children to run freely to the parking lot.
- Rocket Rider - If you plan on transporting your child at dismissal each and every day, please contact the school office to make arrangements to pick up your “ROCKET RIDER” tags before the start of school. Rocket Riders get dismissed from door #3 by the cafeteria. (See attached map) You must have a NEW Rocket Rider tag in order to pick up through the line. You may not use signs from previous years.
- Bus Transportation – Transportation information can be found in your Sapphire Parent Portal.
Student Forms
Student Emergency Form - Please ensure that you receive this at back-to-school night or orientation. If you are unable to attend this will be sent home with your child. Please review and make additions or corrections, sign & date, and send back with your child for us to ensure we have the most up-to-date information.
iPad Protection Plan - Highly Recommended
Avoid costly repair fees by purchasing the iPad Protection Plan. The plan covers any repairs due to accidental damage throughout the school year.
