Springfield High School

Good morning, Springfield High! Today is March 15, 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 the end of school today.  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.

This week's Wellness Wednesday tip is brought to you by The Peace Room: Unplug from Your Devices - Being constantly connected to social media and email can lead to extra stress and stimulation. Take breaks on the weekend or during dinner or family time by leaving your phones in another room or turning them completely off.
