Schoology - A New Look Through Improved Updates
Improvements in Schoology for 2018-2019
Dear SASD Parent/Guardian,
Souderton is excited to be in its 3rd year using Schoology, a learning management system (LMS) allowing students and teachers to collaborate online, which has been very effective in our schools. Schoology allows teachers to post assignments and other resources for their classes. Students can access Schoology from any computer or mobile device with Internet access.
Over the summer, Schoology updated its interface and workflow to make it even easier to use — with better accessibility and a more modern experience. The new experience includes a new top navigation and footer, and removes the left navigation from the home page, making it:
- Easier to access all of your tools throughout Schoology
- Better for younger learners, with a visual card layout for courses and groups
If you would like to learn about the changes you can expect from the new site navigation, please read the “What’s Changing with Schoology’s New Site Navigation” article. We think you will find that Schoology’s new interface is intuitive and user-friendly!
For more information about Schoology, please visit the Parents & Students > Schoology section of the District Web Site. Be sure to check out the FAQs, where you can find important information, including how to reset your password.

Student Accident Insurance
Dear Souderton Area School District Families,
It's hard to believe that school starts next week! This is a reminder to check out the student accident insurance program offered by the District. The School District does not provide medical or dental insurance coverage for students. Injuries that may happen on a playground or in gym class are examples of potential medical expenses that are not covered by School District insurance policies and are the responsibility of parents. Student insurance can be purchased on a voluntary basis, and the premiums are paid by parents. This provides coverage for school hours ($29) or the option of full 24/7/365 coverage ($105).
More information on the policy can be found under the Parent Resources Section of the school district Web site.
If you wish to purchase this coverage, please visit the above Web site, completing the enrollment form, and sending payment to the insurance company.
If you have any questions on the medical benefits provided in the policies, please contact the insurance company as listed in their brochure.
