Help Us Celebrate Staff Appreciation Week
Send an e-card to show your appreciation!
As part of this year's Staff Appreciation Week (May 1-5), we're inviting staff, parents, families, and community members to share their thanks with our staff members by using one of our electronic postcards. Our Staff Appreciation e-card campaign recognizes the contributions of ALL SGASD employees working in our schools and offices: teachers, paraeducators, support staff, custodial staff, nutrition services staff, and school leaders.
Spring Grove Area School District is fortunate to have an incredible team of staff members inside and outside the classroom who help our students learn without limits and reach their full potential. Students are at the heart of everything they do. We encourage you to take a few moments to send a note to a staff member who has made a difference in your life or the life of your child or family. The messages will be sent during Staff Appreciation Week.
We'll be collecting messages of thanks through May 4th. Thank you for helping us celebrate our dedicated staff!

Care Solace helps individuals find mental health care providers and substance use treatment centers. Their Care Companion™ team is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 365 days per year to quickly connect you to carefully verified providers in your community.
Students, staff, and families may access Care Solace services in two ways:
- Call (888) 515-0595 at any time. Support is available in 200+ languages. A dedicated Care Companion™ will help you every step of the way to research options, secure appointments, and follow up to make sure it is a good fit.
- For an anonymous search, answer a few questions to get matched with an extensive list of care providers at www.caresolace.com/sgasd.
Care Solace is available for use at no cost to you. They will connect you with providers accepting all medical insurances including Medicaid, Medicare, and sliding scale options for those without insurance. All information entered on the Care Solace tool is completely confidential and securely stored.
Please note, this service is an optional resource available by choice and is not mandatory to use. Care Solace is not an emergency response service or mental health services provider. In the event of a life threatening emergency, please call 9-1-1 or the National Suicide Hotline 9-8-8.
