 From the Principal

  Dear Springfield Families & Friends,

As we begin December, I look back and think how quickly this school year has gone so far.  Throughout these first few months, in the midst of all the many new challenges that we have been faced with, I thank each and every one of you for your patience and support.  I truly love the wonderful families and community that we have at Springfield School.  I wish you and your family good health and good spirits throughout the holiday season.  I feel confident that when we all return together, it will be with a greater sense of belonging and a renewed perspective on all of the values that make our school such a special place.

This season seems to bring out the best version of so many people – we care a little more, give a little more, and show a little more patience and empathy toward others.  And while the winter holidays are a time of year that many families traditionally look forward to, for some of us, that may not be the case this year due to health, safety, and/or financial concerns stemming from the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.  For some, the events of the last 9 months may simply be an inconvenience; for others, however,  they may have increased feelings of isolation, depression, and anxiety.  Please know that our Student Support Team here at Springfield School is ready and willing to help assist our families in any way we can.  Never hesitate to reach out to myself and/or Mrs. Lori Dumroese (Social Worker) ldumroese@msd143.biz.

Our Winter Break is scheduled from Wednesday, December 23rd - Tuesday, January 5th, and then there is a Teacher Institute Day on Wednesday, January 6th.  We will see all of our students back at school (everyone online) from Thursday, January 7th - Friday, January 15th for our adaptive pause.  OUR FIRST DAY BACK TO IN-PERSON LEARNING (hybrid model) WILL BE TUESDAY, JANUARY 19th.  Please enjoy this time off and come back to us rested and ready for the new year.  Best wishes for a happy, healthy 2021!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Brown
