🍩☕🙂 Hello Spring Park Families! Join us this Thursday, August 28th, during morning drop-off, for a special event celebrating the amazing role dads and father figures play in our students' lives. Enjoy coffee, juice, and pastries on us as a small thank-you for the big impact you make. At Spring Park, we recognize how important male role models are in helping students succeed — academically, socially, and emotionally. Let’s start the day together with connection and community!

Thank you, Spring Park Families, for a wonderful first week of school!

• Mark Your Calendars! Join us on Thursday, August 28th, at 5:45pm, for Open House. This is the perfect opportunity to visit your child's classroom, discover more about what he/she will be learning this school year, as well gather ideas on how you can support your child's education at home.

• Our after-school care program, Team Up, will begin on Monday this week for those who are enrolled.

• Friday was the last day that parents were permitted to walk their children to class. Our students are ready to practice their independence skills as they walk themselves to class, and we have staff as well as Safety Patrols who will be ready to walk our youngest Spring Park students to their classrooms starting on Monday.

• Thank you to all of the Spring Park families who have supported their students' education by sending school supplies. Headphones are an essential part of our technology-based learning at school. The goal is for each student to have his/her own pair of headphones to use daily at school. Some of our online learning sites require students to record their voices to answer questions, so headphones with a built-in microphone are best. No earbuds please.

If you have any questions, please contact your child's classroom teacher(s), or contact our main office at (904) 346-5640, for assistance. Thank you for supporting your child's education!
