February 27th No School in Session - Teacher Inservice

Dear Spring Mills Families,

It's been a great short week, but we are looking forward to the routine of a full five days next week!

Our Book Fair is coming up! Please look for communication from your child(ren)'s teacher(s) regarding days that they are able to shop next week! Please remember that we are a "no cash" school, so purchases will need to be made either through e-wallet or credit card.

Also next week - we have a full day of Professional Learning for staff on Tuesday, February 27th, so there is no school for students.

Please take a moment to check out our bond webpage! There is detailed information here: HVS Bond 2024 Webpage.

Enjoy your weekend!

Sarah Bentley, SM Principal

2024-2025 Kindergarten registration is open. Please click HERE to for more information regarding enrollment.

VERY important reminder to our parents.

When visiting Spring Mills for any reason, ALWAYS have your ID out to show the entry camera. Even if we've seen you many times and we know you well, it is a district expectation that every visitor to Spring Mills have their ID ready to show upon arrival. Thank you for complying with this district expectation!

Important reminder to parents that if you are changing the way your child is going home at dismissal, please call the Spring Mills office BEFORE 3:30pm.

If your child becomes sick or soiled after arriving at school, the office will call the parent or emergency contact person to come pick up your child. Your child will be removed from the classroom and must be picked up as soon as possible. Please consider carefully and plan how you will handle the possibility of your child needing to come home unexpectedly. Having a plan is very important. In an emergency, the school will call EMS to transport the child to the hospital. It is very important to keep accurate and current phone numbers on file with your school for home, work and alternate emergency contact persons.

Thank you to everyone following the guidelines making the circle drive a smoother experience for your community! Please see reminder below and share these rules with other family members who may pick up your student at times.

Arrival/Dismissal - updated information

• Our building doors open at 9:10 am. Please do not drop off early, as there isn't adult supervision outside of the building. You may only use the front loop for drop off
• Upper El Centrum doors close at 9:15am If your child arrives later than this, please use the front doors of the building.
• Safety first! Drivers will need to remain in their lane until all students have been unloaded; you are not allowed to pass other cars if your children unloaded first.
• Also for safety reasons, drivers and other adults must remain in the car during pick up and drop-off. If your child requires help getting in or out of their vehicle please park in the parking lot and walk to the doors to get your child/pick your child up.
• Always have your green name sign clipped to your passenger visor during afternoon pick up - this keeps things moving quickly for the entire Spring Mills community. Please let your child's teacher or the office know if you did not receive a sign and we will send them home with your child.
• When possible, please move your child's seat to the passenger side of the vehicle. Children should not be exiting out into traffic, but rather on the curb side.
• The school day ends at 4:08 pm. Please do not arrive before 4pm. DO NOT EXIT your vehicle from the circle to meet students.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!
