Important Upcoming Dates
December 22nd - Jan 3rd - No School Holiday Break
December 20th - Festive Hat (headband) Day
This will be our last family newsletter of 2022! What a fast and fun Fall we have had together. I look forward to more of the same in 2023.
A few things happening next week -
On Monday morning, we will welcome Rosie, our district K-9 safety dog, to our building for a visit. For more information about Rosie and how she helps keep our students and staff safe, please take a look at this clip: Rosie
On Tuesday, we will have a festive hat day along with our holiday sing for students.
Wednesday will be our last day in school in 2022! We will also say farewell to our beloved PE teacher, Mr. Petoskey, as he begins his retirement. We will miss him! He has been a part of the Spring Mills family for many, many years. We wish him the best!
We are working through the hiring process for this position. I will keep update you when we have it filled.
Finally, I've encouraged our Spring Mills staff to take the break to relax and enjoy their families. We will be back on Wednesday, January 4th and will address any emails sent over the break at that time.
Thank you - warmest wishes for a safe, restful break.

Attendance
Please call our 24-HOUR ATTENDANCE LINE AT 248-684-8086 for all attendance related calls. Please state your child's first and last name and reason for absence.
Attendance is an important component in a student’s education. If we do not hear from you regarding your student's absence, it is our policy to call you to verify your student’s absence.
ILLNESS
Please do not send your child back to school until they have been vomit-free, diarrhea-free, or fever-free for 24 hours.
Dressing for The Weather
Temperatures are plummeting here in Highland and that means it is time for Hats, Coats and Gloves. Please make sure your student(s) are dressed warmly for outside recess. They will go outside each day unless there is inclement weather. When your student is dressed appropriately for the weather, they have a comfortable and happy recess! Should you need help obtaining warm clothing for your student you can reach out to Community Sharing at 248-889-0347.
