Dear Springfield Families & Friends,

April showers bring May flowers...

As we head into the end of our school year, our focus at Springfield remains to cultivate a positive climate and create the best learning environment possible. We encourage students and staff to be productive members of OUR COMMUNITY by adhering to the following three expectations:

1. Make Safe & Responsible Choices

2. Be Respectful & Kind

3. Do Your Best

We continue on with State Testing this month. Students in Grades 3-5 will take the Mathematics portion of IAR on April 9, 10 and 11th. Fifth grade students will also take the Illinois Science Assessment on April 24, 25 and 26th.
