Talent Abounds
About 75 students shared their talent through music, dance, singing, taekwondo, gymnastics, and more during the Sprague School Talent Show this month. Thanks to the PTO's Music Appreciation Committee for organizing this event.
Enjoy a recording of the Talent Show housed in our Google Folder. Please visit the school's Facebook page or view the Google Doc folder for pictures.
Drop Off Reminder
Drop-off begins at 7:55 a.m. The closer we get to 8:10 a.m., the more traffic backs up and the longer the wait. Plan to drop off earlier to avoid having to park and walk your child into the building.
Please follow these map procedures when dropping off and picking up students. For the safety of our children please follow the village signs around the schools - no blocking driveways; abide by the no stopping, no standing, no parking signs; and follow residential roadway speed limits of 20 mph.
Extra Clothes Needed
With the rainy weather comes muddy clothes. Please send an extra change of clothes for your child to keep in the locker in case clothes get wet or muddy.

Parent Input Form
At Sprague, we believe that home-school collaboration creates the best possible placement for students.
The creation of classes is an important process for our students where staff collectively looks at the needs of individuals, groups, the balance of academics, and social-emotional needs, to create healthy learning groups and environments.
If you wish to share information on your child, this Google Doc Form provides you with the opportunity to do so. The input you provide will be reviewed and considered as we begin planning for your child's upcoming school year. While specific teacher requests cannot be accommodated, your insight is valued. We look forward to providing your child with continued learning excellence. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with your child's team.
Please note, the input you share is not private between the Principal and parent and will be shared with our team during the placement process. Please do not request specific teachers. Any response form that lists a specific teacher will not be included in the placement process. Please complete a form for each of your children, if desired. This form needs to be completed by April 22, 2022.
