End of the Year Awards Ceremonies
Parents and Guardians,
As the end of the year approaches, we wanted to update you on the logistics for our end of the year ceremonies. We will use our big parking lot for our end of the year Park and Watch award ceremonies. We will have designated parking areas for parents where you can watch your scholars parade around the parking lot.
If you would like to check out your scholar, you will have to drive around to the bus parking lot, get out, go into the office and sign your scholar out.
Parents may come 5-10 minutes before the awards. We highly encourage parents not to come earlier than 10 minutes due to traffic flow.
We’re Extending the Deadline for Summer School Registration
Registration for Summer School will remain open through Friday, May 21 to ensure all students needing extra help are able to enroll in class this summer. We also are offering a self-paced enrichment program for those students who want to accelerate their learning.
For students who need grade recovery, we are offering an in-person experience at select school sites that will focus heavily on literacy and math. For students who want to enrich, we are offering an online experience accessible through the Spring ISD website and Schoology.
If your student is participating in person, the main summer school session will run from Monday, June 14 through Friday, July 2. Students in pre-K and Kindergarten will run through Thursday, July 8. The 21st Century after-school program and Special Education Extended School Year (ESY) program will be provided until July 22.
The online self-paced enrichment program will be available all summer long with a set of courses being offered in June and a second set in July.
Visit www.springisd.org/summerschool for more information and to register by May 21.
Tuition-Free Pre-K Program to Expand Access to More Students
We’re pleased to announce we’re expanding our full-day pre-K program next school year to allow more students to experience the benefits of a high-quality early childhood education with caring and certified teachers at no cost to families.
Specifically, we’re looking to enroll some students who wouldn’t normally be eligible because they don’t meet the usual income, language or other requirements. This expansion will ensure more young learners get the great start that a quality pre-K education provides without their families having to pay any tuition or fees.
To accommodate these students, we are setting aside some seats at nearly every elementary campus. Parents who are interested should simply register at www.springisd.org/prek and fill out the application. The only eligibility requirement is that a student must be 4 years old on or before September 1.
The deadline to apply for the free pre-K program is July 23. Families will learn whether there is space for their student starting the week of July 26. For more information, visit: www.springisd.org/prek
Now’s the Time to Update Your Contact Information! Log into HAC TODAY!
Parents, now’s the time to update your contact information in the Home Access Center and be sure that we have an email address linked to your HAC account.
This is very important as we will need an email address to contact you over the summer with your annual student update in preparation for the 2021-22 school year.
Getting access to HAC is easy via the mySpringISD link, found on every campus website, as well as the district website. Parents who aren’t sure of their logon information should contact their school. If you already have your mySpringISD username and password, getting to HAC is just a matter of logging into the portal and then clicking on the Home Access Center icon.
Once in HAC, you can edit your contact information in the demographics section. Again, it’s very important we have an email address listed in your HAC account. If you need more details on how to access HAC or set up an email address, visit www.springisd.org/hac.
Take Part in Our Reading Colors Your World Competition and Win Prizes!
Get ready for the next district reading competition, starting on May 10 for students in grades K-8. The event marks the third such contest this year and features prizes, including gift cards and water bottles.
All students need to do is log onto the mySpringISD portal between May 10 and May 28 and access the myON Reader platform, where they have access to thousands of books to read. Prizes will be awarded to the top three elementary students with the most minutes of reading time. For students in middle school, prizes will be awarded to the top three with most books read.
Also, myOn Reading Choice Boards will be available through your child’s teacher. You can ask for a print copy or to access it digitally. Challenge yourself by completing at least two non-fiction, two poetry, and two fiction boxes!
The goal is to see all elementary and middle school students logging into myON and exploring new books!
