Good morning, Springfield High!  Today is March 18, 2024



Attendance Office Phone Number - 525-3111



Students, If you're not feeling well during school hours, please visit the nurse's office instead of texting your parent directly to go home. Our nurse will then assess your condition and contact your parent for you. Reminder that phones are not allowed during class time. Not following this procedure creates a disruption for many offices as well as adults in the building. Thanks for following the procedure that is in place and helping to keep the school running smoothly!

Senators show courage by standing up for others who are being mistreated. If you see someone saying or doing mean things to others, have the courage to tell them to stop. It can be difficult, but talking to someone who’s bullying, can be very influential because it’s coming from a peer.  You have the power to change the situation; however,  telling an adult can help everyone involved. Be Brave, Be A Senator!
