On Friday, November 3, 2023, Sabold Elementary School will be participating in our annual Race for Education.  We invite family and friends to join us in helping to raise funds for field trips, winter clubs, Super Sabold Day tee shirts, classroom expenses, assemblies, essential educational needs, and other Home & School activities.  If we reach our goal, we will be able to eliminate all other fundraisers during the school year, and refrain from asking you to pay for various/typical school costs.

REPORTING ABSENCES

If you would like to report an absence via email, please send the email using this link: sabattendance

Additionally, there is a link to submit attendance on the school website. If you go to Sabold’s page, use your mouse to hover over “Parents” in the upper right-hand corner. Select “Attendance” from the dropdown list. In the middle of the page you will find a link to submit an email to sabattendance@ssdcougars.org An added bonus to the hotline email is that it will serve as written notice of your child’s absence. You will not need to send an additional note to school so that the absence will be marked as excused. We will retain the email as your absence note.

Dear Parent(s)/Legal Guardian(s):

Your child attends Sabold Elementary School which receives Federal Title I funds to assist students in meeting state achievement standards. Throughout the school year, we will be providing you with important information about this law and your child’s education. This letter lets you know about your right to request information about the qualifications of the teachers working with your child.

At Sabold Elementary School we are very proud of our teachers and feel they are ready for the coming school year and are prepared to give your child a high-quality education. All teachers at Sabold Elementary School are certified in the subjects that they currently teach and are considered highly qualified in the state of Pennsylvania. As a Title I school, we must meet federal regulations related to teacher qualifications as defined in ESEA. These regulations allow you to learn more about your child’s teachers’ training and credentials, such as the certificates and additional graduate degrees that a teacher currently holds. We are happy to meet with you to provide you with this information. Also, if your child receives paraprofessional assistance, you may also inquire about his or her qualifications, and we will meet with you to provide you with this information.

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which was signed into law in December 2015 and reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1956 (ESEA), includes additionally right to know requests. At any time, parents and legal guardians can request: (1) Information on policies regarding student participation in assessments; and (2) Information on required assessments, including subject, the time allotted, the purpose of the assessment and the format for disseminating results.

Our staff is committed to helping your child develop the academic knowledge and critical thinking he/she needs to succeed in school and beyond. That commitment includes making sure that all of our teachers and paraprofessionals meet applicable Pennsylvania state requirements. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Anthony Simek, Principal (anthony.simek@ssdcougars.org) or Dr. Jeffrey Zweiback, Federal Programs Coordinator (Jeffrey.Zweiback@ssdcougars.org).
