Today is... Solar Eclipse Day!!!!! A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow over parts of Earth and blocking the face of the Sun for observers in those locations. The eclipse will begin here at approximately 2:02 pm, and it will last about 30 minutes. Springfield will see about 96% coverage of the sun by the moon!

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.
