Springfield High School

Good morning, Springfield High! Today is March 7, 2023

Students - We need each of you to listen to this important announcement.  We want our school to be safe.  We want our school to be a place that is fight free and a place where any form of bullying is not allowed.  We want you to feel safe on your social media and in person at school.  We need you to be respectful. Ask for help from an adult if you need help, and NEVER choose physical violence as a way to solve your problems. If you see something that doesn’t sound or seem right - tell someone right away. The students and adults that attend and work in this school deserve to be safe at all times.  Fighting will not be tolerated and we will utilize consequences if you make the choice to bully students in person or on-line or if you choose to fight at school. Help make District 186 a place where everyone is proud to work and learn. 

After school tutoring will be held every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 3:30-4:30 pm in room 160.

If you want to be a part of our awesome newspaper class, you must complete an application and return it to Ms. Negele by March 15th.  Applications can be picked up in room 362.  We accept students from all grade levels, but you must apply and be selected to join the class.

Happy National World Language Week Everyone!   Here is your fun fact about the French language—  Did you know that French is one of the 3 official languages of the Olympic Games!  The next summer Olympic games in 2024 will be held in Paris, France. Oui, c’est bon!
