SA Parent Survey: Your feedback is valuable!

Dear SA Families,

Thank you for choosing our school for your family.

In keeping with our ongoing commitment to excellence, we have partnered with a consultant to develop an enrollment and marketing plan. As part of our consultant's process, he is conducting a parent survey. This survey will guide the leadership in improving our school.

This survey is confidential, and parent respondents will not be identified. Our consultant will tabulate the results independently and present them to the school's leadership.

This survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. Your participation and feedback is very important to us! Please click on the following link to complete the survey by Friday, November 22:

Thank you in advance for sharing your feedback!

Annual Christmas Fundraiser for Rowan Vocational Opportunities

Please join us in providing a little Christmas happiness for some very special people! We are coming together again this year to collect donations for Rowan Vocational Opportunities. RVO provides employment, education, therapy, friendship, and many other services for adults with mental disabilities. The needs of these individuals are for basic items that many of us take for granted. We can work to make sure that each and every one of the 200 clients of RVO will receive a hardy bag of essential items.

We will also accept monetary donations (to the attention of Heather Coulter/checks made out to Salisbury Academy) which will be used to purchase priority and bulk items.

A highlight of this partnership is sharing a Christmas party together. It is quite exciting for us to be able to spend this quality time with some dear individuals. Mrs. Coulter’s exploratory is currently planning for this event, and will take the party and donations to RVO on Wednesday, December 11. There is a particular need for personal items.

Please send all items by Monday, December 9. We are asking for your help with the following:

Salisbury Academy Fund

Going forward, the SA Fund will support projects of excellence! Funds raised this year will be used to address transportation needs. We are currently exploring options for the purchase of a new, slightly-used bus and getting quotes for repainting our smaller bus, affectionately called the "Jag Wagon." Which option we choose and the timeline for delivering on these items will depend on how much we raise. – Every gift counts towards our goal!

Make your gift to the SA Fund today
