Today is..    National App Day on December 11th encourages us to explore all the possibilities apps afford us.#NationalAppDay

The word "App" was listed as the word of the year in 2010 by the American Dialect Society.

Short for Software Application, apps quickly appeared when our mobile devices incorporated smart technologies. As the power of our phones increased with processing chips, internet connectivity, and touchscreens, so did the apps that became available.

Rooms and The Springfield District 186 App

Students and Parents:  Please download the SPS 186 app to your mobile device, and search for Springfield District 186 in the app store or Google Play Store.  

We have a fantastic new communication tool called Rooms.  Currently, LMS is using Rooms for communication for Extracurricular Activities to keep parents and students informed on practice times, schedules, and announcements.  Rooms also allow messages to be sent back and forth between the school and home!  If you have any questions, please email or call Mr. Hoffek

Students:  Please remember to use the restroom when you are dismissed from the Cafeteria at lunch before you go outside.  7th Grade Students, go directly back to your 5th-hour class after lunch.  There is no reason for 7th Graders to be on the Garden Level when you come inside from lunch.
