Today, we pause to honor and remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001. On this 25th anniversary, we reflect on the courage and sacrifice of first responders, the strength of our nation, and the importance of coming together in times of adversity.

As we observe this solemn anniversary, let’s also take a moment to recognize the importance of kindness, service, compassion, and empathy values that endure and can help guide us through every challenge. While many adults carry vivid memories of that day, parents may be seeking guidance on how to talk with their children about 9/11 in a thoughtful and age-appropriate way.

As a reminder, all Spring-Ford schools and offices are closed today, Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day.

Wishing our students, staff, and families a safe, relaxing, and well-deserved holiday!

Back-to-school countdown: Our yellow school buses will be picking up students soon, and drivers are never more important to slow down and pay attention than when kids are present – especially before and after school.
- TRANSPORTATION REMINDER: Double check your child’s bus number, pick-up time and pick-up location. Transportation schedules may change during the first few weeks of school, it is important to be prepared for any slight alteration in your schedule.

Remember...
- It is illegal in all 50 states to pass a school bus that is stopped to load or unload children.
- If you're driving behind a bus, allow a greater following distance than if you were driving behind a car. It will give you more time to stop once the yellow lights start flashing.
- If the yellow or red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended, traffic must stop.
- For the safety of all students, families, and staff, children should not ride eBikes or similar electric vehicles on school property outside of school hours. Spring-Ford’s school grounds and facilities are intended to provide a safe environment for students and visitors, and use of school property must not interfere with school operations, student activities, or pedestrian safety.
- Be alert at all times!

We rely on our Spring-Ford community to keep our kids safe, happy, and smiling (maybe even singing!) when they're waiting for the bus or walking to school.
