Dear Springfield Families & Friends,

We have now entered the 2026 portion of the school year. Second trimester welcomes the STEM program and Ms. Eckert back to Springfield School! We are quite excited to see what feats of engineering our students create over the next few months and we look forward to sharing these with families as well.

Students in grades 2-5 are continuing on with our Collective Community sessions every other week, where we discuss current events of Springfield School, celebrate student success, hone in on areas of focus, and set goals to continue to drive our learning.

As the colder months are here and recess is inside on days below freezing, we remind families to please send your children to school with coats, hats, and gloves, and continue to remind them about the responsibility of keeping track of these items while at school. Mastering these executive functioning skills is a crucial part of brain (and social) development.

As always, thank you for your continued support of the students and staff of Springfield School. We appreciate the understanding, patience, and flexibility that our school community displayed during the construction process!

Best wishes for a comfortable and relaxing winter season... GO CHARGERS!

Colin Nolan, Principal (708) 388-4121, Ext. 5110
