The Spring Road Scoop
September 2, 2022
Welcome to Spring Road!
I would like to welcome you all to our school. I am beginning my 4th year as the principal of Spring Road and my 33rd year of working in the Neenah Joint School District. I had the incredible luck of teaching at Spring Road for 26 years before becoming the principal. I had been the principal at Roosevelt and Alliance Charter for 3 years before accepting the position at Spring Road. This school and community hold a very special place in my heart. I am beyond grateful for the amazing staff, students, parents, and neighbors that make up our school family. I would like to introduce you to our new staff members:
- Mrs. Paige Grabner-Niles is teaching 5th grade
- Mrs. Beverly Stearns is teaching music
- Mrs. Melissa VanHoof is an educational assistant in our cross-categorical program.
- Mrs. Sarah Heller is an educational assistant in our cross-categorical program.
- Ms. Jessica Christensen is an educational assistant in our intellectual disabilities program.
- Mrs. Andrea Simonis is a library media assistant
- Mrs. Stephanie Streck is a math interventionist.
- Mrs. Rachelle Gutschow is our health assistant
- Mrs. Andie Grassl is our building educational assistant
- Mrs. Amber Voelkel is our school social worker
- Mrs. Ashley Baumler is our English learner educational assistant
I am hoping to keep you informed through bi-monthly newsletters, all school emails, Facebook posts, and occasional paper notes/letters. I am trying a wide variety of communication tools to best meet the needs of our school community. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or compliments! (I especially love hearing about the great things our staff and students are doing). I can be reached via email (dluft@neenah.k12.wi.us) or phone (920-751-6975). I am looking forward to a great school year with you!

If you might be interested, please feel free to join us at our Fall Room Rep Meeting on Thursday September 15th at 6:30pm in the Spring Road Library. We will be discussing responsibilities and planning Fall Teacher Conference Meals.
Welcome Back from our PTO
We are very excited to welcome back our students and families to Spring Road this year. We would love to continue offering no and low cost social options for our families but we need help planning and organizing them. If we don't get volunteers to assist our board, we won't be able to sponsor these socials during the year.
We are also looking for 1-2 people to coordinate our Eaton's Pizza sale in the winter. Eaton's is our largest fundraiser and without it, we won't be able to continue to support the school and the students as we have in the past.
Please take a look at the volunteer opportunities and fill out the google form if there are any you are able to help with. If you have further questions, please contact the PTO at Springroadpto@gmail.com.
