Springfield Middle School
March 2023
From the Principal
Please do everything you can to support daily, on time, attendance. While students are allowed to make up missed assignments, it is impossible to truly replicate the daily instruction. If there are supports we can provide your family that would help your student improve attendance, please contact the appropriate counselor or assistant principal.
Lastly, as a principal and as a parent of middle schooler myself, I am asking you to please help us look out for all students. If you hear of unsafe behavior among your student and their friends, please contact us so we can assist.
Sincerely,
Lindsey A. Avara, Principal

Spring Testing : SAVE THE DATES
Your child will be taking very important end of year assessments during marking period 3 and 4. We ask that your child attend school these days unless they are sick. We are testing in the morning at 7:30 A.M. each of these days so being on time is very important. If you need to make appointments on testing days,, we ask that, if at all possible, you schedule them after 10:00 A.M.
If students are absent on testing dates, they will take their assessments when they return.

National Junior Honor Society News!
Springfield’s National Junior Honor Society is proud to announce that this year’s group project was a huge success! Members planned a fundraiser dance for February 17 to benefit the American Heart Association’s “American Heart Month” campaign. Ticket and concession sales at the dance raised over $315 to donate to the organization. So many families in our community are affected by cardiovascular disease, and we are pleased to be able to contribute to research and treatment efforts.
If you (or your student) are interested in becoming a NJHS member, stay tuned for information coming out at the end of the third marking period about the application process or contact Mrs. Face (facelei@wcps.k12.md.us) for details.
