Bulldog Bulletin

Thank you for your patience as we completed Chromebook distribution. All seventh- and eighth-grade students have received a Chromebook and charger to use at school and at home. Students should not place stickers on their devices or mark them in any way; Chromebooks may be labeled with masking tape showing the student’s name and grade.

In an effort to limit screen time and reduce device damage, Chromebooks will not be individually distributed to sixth-grade students. However, sixth graders will continue to have access to Chromebooks and other technology in each classroom whenever needed for instruction—they simply will not bring devices home.

The BSD Technology Agreement is available in English and Spanish here: BSD Student Device Agreement.

Did you know that parents can access Schoology and see their child(ren)'s classes and assignments? We encourage parents to create an account if they have not done so. You'll need a parent access code in order to follow the steps in the linked video below.

Friday afternoon, the Springer community came together for our 3rd Annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. Participants climbed 55 flights up and 55 flights down—symbolizing the 110 stories of the World Trade Center—to remember and honor the lives lost and the heroes of September 11, 2001.

A special thank you to Nurse Grant, Talley Fire Company, our staff, students, and the Springer Field Hockey Team for participating in this meaningful tradition. We will never forget.
