SHS Traffic Pattern & Access Changes 2024- 2025

We are so excited to kick off the 2024-2025 school year at Springfield High School as we embark on a historic journey as we are beginning the transformation of Springfield High School’s current structure into a state of the art building. 

We appreciate you and your student’s adaptability and positive mindsets as we know that construction is a very fluid situation. We appreciate the community's support as we continue to make sure that students and staff have a safe and secure learning environment. 

We want to communicate with you the traffic pattern and changes to accessibility to our building for the public.

  • All parents and guardians that are dropping off and picking up their students are encouraged to utilize the far right East bound lane on West Washington to drop off their student near the Commons Entrance. You can access Washington Street from Walnut street or Lewis street. 

  • Please notice that Parker Street is closed and used for construction access only.

Please plan and prepare your time accordingly as this traffic pattern is new for all families and staff. We want to ensure that our students can safely and securely arrive at school on time. 

We will continue to monitor drop off and pick up and communicate with families if any changes or adjustments are made. Again, we appreciate your cooperation.
