SPS District 186 Parent Engagement Roundtable
Topics covered at March Superintendent Parent Engagement Roundtable:
Coordinator for Culture and Leadership, Jill Grove shared about Social Emotional Learning (SEL). SEL is called out in one of five Springfield Public Schools Strategic Goals: Enhance academic and emotional support so students can reach their full potential.
Ms. Grove shared:
- SEL is a process for children and adults
- Welcoming rituals and circles help us with our fundamental need to belong
- SEL needs to be treated like academic content
- District 186 has new SEL website
Helping children navigate technology
From cyberbullying and photo sharing to digital footprints and online safety, Teachers and families can use the following resources to help children become healthy and productive digital citizenships.
Check out Digital Citizenship resources:
- CommonSense.org Connecting Families program helps parents address important topics and have meaningful conversations with their kids about making great choices in their digital lives.
- District 186 Internet Safety resources promote a digital citizenship conversation with students.
(Public Act 095-0869 requires all students in the State of Illinois in grades 3 through 12 be provided instruction about Internet Safety.)

What do I need to do now to be ready to register for the 2018-19 school year?
If you do not already have an online parent account with access to your child’s information, you need to request your online parent account first. To do this, ask your school’s secretary for your parent access letter. You will have to pick this letter up at the school. Please bring identification with you to pick up the letter. It has your unique and secure username and password and information on how to set up your account.
If you already have an online parent account, you do not need to do anything until the registration window opens. You cannot register your student(s) for 2018-19 until the registration window opens.
Having an online parent account will make online registration a fast and easy process once the registration window opens.
