Today is..   National Answer the Phone Like Buddy the Elf Day!  On December 18, wear something green, pick up the phone, and celebrate Answer The Telephone Like Buddy The Elf Day!

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
