From the Principal

Dear Springfield Families & Friends,

Season's greetings!  This is a wonderful time of year, but also a very busy one, so it can be quite overwhelming.  As the adults scurry around preparing for the excitement of the holidays, children can also feel the stress and exhaustion brought on by multiple family gatherings, special travels, and perhaps some shopping outings in preparation for important traditions.  During this hectic time, our usual routines can often fall to the wayside along with daily reading practice, regular homework support, and even family meals.  Please continue to support your child in his/her school success by ensuring a consistent routine, as much as possible.  Adequate sleep and nutrition support learning, brain development, concentration, and mood... all of which directly affect children’s success at school!

Although we’ve had a relatively warm fall and early winter, December means colder temperatures… and disappearing daylight.  Here in Chicagoland we know that snow and ice are always lurking just around the corner.  As a reminder, please ensure that you develop back up plans for getting your children to school in winter weather and do your best to help keep your children healthy.  If every family takes these 2 key steps, we can help avoid a high number of student absences this winter.

Finally, I send all of our Springfield families my very best wishes for the festive season.  I sincerely hope you have an opportunity to experience the real meaning of the holidays, enjoy the festivities of the New Year, and spend quality time with loved ones.  I look forward to welcoming everyone back for the start of 2020!

Mrs. Amanda Brown
