Important Upcoming Dates

June 14th - STUDENT MEDICATION PICK UP IN THE OFFICE

It's hard to believe that this is our last Shark Nation Notes of the year! And what a great year it has been, as we have moved into a more "normal" school setting. I want to thank each and every one of you for your partnership. I genuinely love our Spring Mills Family and community. This is a terrific place to be everyday and I thank you for your role in that. We cherish the time we get to spend with your kiddos.
Special thanks to Mrs. Brower and all the parents who volunteered to make our Field Day a success! There is a lot of work that goes into that day, and it is so very appreciated. Our students had a blast, and it was a great event to wrap up the school year.
As we head into the summer months, I'd like to impress upon you the importance of making sure our kids have opportunities to just be kids -- without the interference of screens. I hope you get the chance to do some fun activities with your family that get you all outside and active, balanced with a little reading and practicing math facts. :)
We wrap up our last full week of school this week, and next week we have our 5th grade clap out on Tuesday, June 13th. We wish our fifth graders nothing but the best as they move on to the next stage of their educational career at HVS.
Our last day of school is Wednesday, June 14th, which is a half day. Lunch will be a bagged lunch - grab and go and dismissal will be 12:45pm.
Best wishes for a healthy, happy summertime!
Sarah Bentley, SM Principal
End of Year Medication Pick Up
Lost and Found Items
Congratulations to Our Spring Mills Senior Sharks!
It was an honor to be a part of graduation at Lakeland High School and Milford High School last Sunday. In addition, our former Sharks came back to visit Spring Mills Elementary, where it all started for them! Teachers and staff were excited to see their former students. Congratulations Class of 2023!
Early Dismissal Protocol Reminder
If you must sign your child out early we request that you do so prior to 3:30pm to avoid the end of day pack up and dismissal procedures.
Protocol for picking your student(s) up early:
You do not need to notify or call the office in advance. Students are called to the office after their parent/guardian arrives. Please enter the front vestibule of the school and press the call button into the office. We will then call your child from class and have you sign them out. Please share this protocol with any of your Emergency Contacts that may be picking up your children.
Identification Required
HVS SAFETY AND SECURITY
For the safety of our students, Huron Valley Schools have a firm expectation when it comes to identifying the visitors we have inside the buildings. When you are coming in the building during instruction hours, you must show your ID and state the reason for your visit. Even if we have seen you several times and even if we know you very well, we are still required to ask you for your ID. We ask that you PLEASE be prepared with your identification each and every time you come in to the building during school hours. Please share this expectation with anyone on your student's emergency contact list. We truly appreciate your support of these requirements.
Attendance Procedures
You can call our 24-HOUR ATTENDANCE LINE AT 248-684-8086 for all attendance related calls. Please state your child's first and last name and reason for absence.
Attendance is an important component in a student’s education. If we do not hear from you regarding your student's absence, it is our policy to call to verify your student’s absence.
ILLNESS
Please do not send your child back to school until they have been vomit-free, diarrhea-free, or fever-free for 24 hours.
EXTENDED ABSENCES AND VACATIONS
If your child(ren) will be absent for an extended period of time, please make sure to complete a pre-arranged absence form available from the office or on our website under Parent Resources.
