Today, students enjoyed a fun PBIS Pop-Up Prize Table during lunches as we continued celebrating positive choices and strong Spartan spirit throughout our building.


We are also looking ahead to another exciting week at The Lake, with many special events ahead, including welcoming our incoming 5th graders to Springton Lake Middle School, the 7th Grade Hersheypark field trip, annual awards ceremonies, and our final Student of the Month Breakfast of the school year.


Tickets are now available for the 8th Grade Farewell Dance. Please use the link below to learn more or to volunteer in support of this special tradition for our students.


We wish all of our Spartan families a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.


Sincerely,

Ryan Buterbaugh

Allergy season is in full swing. If your student has seasonal allergies and takes allergy medication, please make sure they take the medication before coming to school. The health office does not have allergy medication available. If your student forgets their medication, parents/guardians may bring and administer the medication to their student in the health office.


Just a reminder about our district medication policy. Students are not permitted to have any medication with them at school. Only inhalers and Epipens with self-carry doctor's orders are permitted. Tylenol, Ibuprofen, and Tums are available at the health office with parent permission. If your student needs any other medication at school, please see the Administrations of Medication policy for instructions.

Student Lunch Accounts Student Lunch Accounts

As we get closer to the end of the school year, we are asking for your help to resolve any outstanding balances on your child's lunch account. Funds may be added electronically online or by cash or check in the cafeteria. Any funds remaining in your child's account at the end of the school year will rollover to the next school year. We appreciate your cooperation!

To keep classrooms focused and learning uninterrupted, all wireless devices, including cell phones, smart watches, earbuds, and similar devices, must be OFF and AWAY during the school day unless a teacher gives a specific academic reason to use them. Students will be reminded each morning to power down their devices.


Please let your child know that you will not be texting or calling during school hours. If a student needs to reach a parent, a staff member can provide permission. In an emergency, the main office is the best way to get in touch. More details are available in the Springton Lake Student Handbook.


Thank you for helping us create a safe, distraction-free learning environment!
