Good morning, Springfield High! Today is _____Oct 17th___________________
Great news for any student still wanting to travel to Greece and Rome this summer. We recently had two spots open up for our trip, and these two spots will be filled on a first come first serve basis. This is a great opportunity to travel in the summer of 2025 and see a few of the true gems in the world today. Once these two spots are filled, the trip will be closed for good. If interested, see Mr. Telger in room 312 for information about the trip. Don’t wait on this opportunity, these two spots will fill up quickly.
Last call for travelers to Europe during the summer of 2026. The early traveler discount expires Friday 10/18. Ask Mrs. Eaton or Mrs. Emery about the itinerary or other questions. Don’t miss out on the discount!
Senators show kindness through their words. Whether it’s giving compliments, saying thank you or sending a kind note, your words have power to brighten someone's day.

You can turn these into the Kind Card box in Guidance and BAS will deliver for you.

Students, we have had great attendance at our first home football games. But, we want to remind you of the code of conduct. The Code of Conduct and the guidelines of the student handbook apply to all students while on District 186 property, adjacent property or engaged in school-sponsored activities. Any misconduct before, during or after the game will be handled by the administration at the student’s school and will result in consequences.
Please note that students who are suspended and/or expelled are not permitted to attend school events, including games. If a suspended or expelled student purchases a ticket and is admitted by mistake, they will be required to leave, and no refunds will be issued.
All spectators are expected to remain seated during games. Anyone found standing or roaming for an extended period of time will be asked to sit in the stands, failure to comply will result in being removed from the stadium.
Also failing to abide by the football stadium expectations may result in you being escorted from the stadium. If you are escorted from the stadium you will not be allowed to return to future games.
No unaccompanied minors will be allowed entry into games. All K-8th grade students should be with an adult who is responsible for their actions and monitors their movement during the games. They should be sitting watching the games and limit walking around unless using the restroom or visiting the concession stand. Students can not attend without an adult - they will not be allowed entry.
Football games will conclude around 9:15 p.m., announcements will be made for students to call for their ride at the start of 4th quarter at every game. Please make sure your ride, if needed, is at the stadium to pick you up at that time.
We want to cheer on our teams, have great District 186 spirit and have a good time. Thank you for assisting the Administration and the Springfield Police Department in this manner.
And now the Pledge of Allegiance!
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
