Your username is your six-digit student number (ex. [email protected]). All email is administered by Gmail, so you will have access to your student account at home through your Chromebook or personal device. Email South Faculty ● All staff emails are formatted as [email protected] and can also be found through your Sapphire account. When emailing your teachers, you may also find them while you are composing an email in your school email account by putting their last name into the To: menu and choosing the correct person’s email. Grades Online ● Your grades are available at any time through your Sapphire account. Your parents can also see your grades through their access to the Sapphire Community Portal. You need to know your login credentials to access the gradebook; see guidance to set up your Sapphire access. This is a great way for you to keep up with what work is assigned and due. Guidance Office ● If you have a question or problem and don’t know who to turn to, start with your Guidance Counselor ● Go to the Guidance Office if you: o Need to see your counselor o Have questions about your schedule o Have questions about colleges or careers o Need to set up or reset your Sapphire access o Need working papers; transcripts; The East Stroudsburg Area School District issues Pennsylvania work permits to all minors who reside in the school district. To obtain a PA work permit from the school district: 1. The student must be planning to work in Pennsylvania. Other states, including New York and New Jersey, do not have reciprocal work arrangements and a work permit must be obtained from the school district where the employer is located in that state. 2. The student must be a resident of the East Stroudsburg Area School District. If the student is not a school district resident, he or she should obtain a work permit from the school district in which they reside. Note: If the student is living out of state and working within the East Stroudsburg Area School District, the school district can issue a work permit. 3. The student will need to come to the main office of the high school which they attend, or would attend, and obtain the proper forms. The student will need to produce the following documents before obtaining a work permit: a. Original or copy of birth certificate, baptismal certificate, passport or photo driver's license. 4. A parent or guardian must appear before the issuer of the work permit. 6 5. IMPORTANT! The student must be present when the work permit is issued and a signature of a parent or guardian must be executed at the high school main office at the time of issuance or the signature must be notarized on an attestation document. This is a state mandate. ● The best time to see your counselor is before or after school (by appointment, unless it’s an emergency) or by appointment during the day. Chromebooks ● South employs a one-to-one initiative with Chromebooks. They will be distributed to students on the first day of school and will be your responsibility for the year. Make sure you carry your Chromebook in a protective case; charge it each night; and have your charger with you in school,

  • Founder Testimonial – SCS History and Need
    Appendix X. Founder Testimonial: SCS History and Need Jennifer Olson 813 Bangor Mountain Rd. Stroudsburg, PA 18360 November 8, 2020 Summit Charter School Application - Founder Letter More about How and Why Summit School Started To Whom It May Concern: I write this letter to accompany the Summit Charter School Charter Application, not only as a letter of support, but also as a way to provide context. I am the original founding member of Summit School of the Poconos, the private school whose model the Summit Charter School is based on. I serve as the Board President of the Summit School of the Poconos and plan to serve as the Board President of the Summit Charter School. The Charter School Application asks about the founding coalition and asks for a representation of need. While facts and data can be included there, that information alone lacks a depth of something more meaningful and personal. I shared much of what I will write here with the Pocono Mountain School District during the hearing for the first charter application submitted by the school in November 2019. While this is written in part as a reaffirmation and reminder of my original words to the District, it is also written with the unfortunate knowledge that the ultimate audience of this letter will likely be the Pennsylvania Charter School Appeal Board. Since Summit’s announcement that the School was applying for a charter, many people have asked why? How is it that a student could benefit from a school that has less to offer - less ​ ​ ​ ​ students, less teachers, less extracurricular options than Pocono Mountain does? Why we’re ​ ​ doing this seems to be just as important as what we’re doing, so I’d like to try to explain that a ​ ​ little.

Box 274 • East Stroudsburg, PA 18301 • (570) 269-7580 • (570) 460-5156 www.perrymankeglovits.org Remembering Arthur Perryman and Al Keglovits The Perryman Keglovits Foundation 2018 All-Star Games In 2003, an All Star Basketball Game was born in memory of both Al Keglovits and Arthur Perryman. It’s hard to believe that it is already the games’ sixteenth year! With the help of so many people over the past sixteen years this local boys and girls senior showcase has grown into a memorable community affair. This night is not just a basketball game for our senior All-Stars but also a night to remember all those in the community who have lost their battle with cancer and to encourage those who continue their fight. Cancer is the number one leading cause of death in Monroe County. The vision of this All-Star game was not only to give our senior All-Stars one last chance to play in front of their families and friends, but also to honor two Monroe County Basketball Legends who lost their lives to cancer. Proceeds from the event support both the “Dale and Frances Hughes Cancer Center” and the Jimmy V Foundation. The community can truly be proud of the support they provide to these worthy causes.
