Week of August 7
A Message from Ms. Valentine, Principal
Greetings Students, Staff, and Families,
As summer break draws to an end, I hope you've found time to relax and recharge. At Springbrook High School, we are preparing for the start of the 2022 - 2023 school year. Excitement and electricity are in the air as we look to greet our dynamic new and returning staff, welcome our amazing scholars, and partner with our incredibly supportive parents, guardians, and community members. This year our school-wide focus is entrenched in the transformative work of building community and elevating “next-level” academic excellence. With eyes on the future needs of our community, we enter this year with a renewed commitment to well-being.
This year we have redesigned the way we engage our entire school community. Commencing with the first of many events of the year, the 9th Grade/New Student Orientation, inclusive of parent sessions, and the evening Springbrook Well Being Fair, for new families, will set the tone for the year. We look to have simultaneous sessions for students AND parents.
