Happy Thursday everyone!! Today is April 18, 2024, it's a B Day and it's a wonderful day to learn!

Birthdays:  Happy Birthday to.... Andria B.

Today is... NATIONAL HIGH FIVE DAY

Each year on the third Thursday in April, we observe National High Five Day. This is a fun day where you can “High Five” everyone that you see. #NationalHighFiveDay

Folklore fills the hallowed halls of sports stadiums concerning the origins of the high five. From the basketball to the volleyball court and baseball stadium, the sports metaphor has been well worn on this topic.

Welcoming Ritual: Who is someone you look up to and why?

Academic Lunch 

Students need to check their grades during announcements.  If you are failing a class, you will need to report to the art room with your binder and laptop for academic lunch.  Please report to the art room at the beginning of your lunch before you get your lunch.  Bring your computer!

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.
