Dear Spring Mills Families,
Happy long weekend! I hope you are able to get in some restful time with family and friends this weekend!
Just a procedural reminder for any adults picking up a Spring Mills student - please have your identification out and ready to go when you ring the door to enter Spring Mills. Safety and security is our first priority, and our office staff will be asking you to go retrieve your ID if you do not have it with you to show at the camera.
Also another reminder that our students head outdoors each and everyday. Outdoor play is an important part of their day. Please make sure you watch the weather and students have the proper attire.
And speaking of attire.....we have a LOT of unclaimed clothes, jackets, gloves, hats, mittens, etc. in our Lost and Found. Please make sure your child is checking for lost items. At the end of this month we will be donating any unclaimed items to clear out our space.
Our book fair will be the week of February 26th! Look for more information to come regarding your child's shopping day. Also, per our district, we are moving to a "no cash" system. In order to purchase from our Scholastic book fair, you will need to either use E-Wallet or credit.
Kindergarten Orientation is coming up! This year, it is on the evening of Thursday, March 14th. We look forward to welcoming all of our incoming SM families, as well as seeing some familiar ones. Please see below for more information regarding Kindergarten Registration.
As always, thank you for your partnership!
Have a wonderful extended weekend,
Sarah Bentley, SM Principal

Lost and Found
We have MANY items in our Lost and Found. Here is our lost and found item of the week! If this belongs to your child please have them stop into the office.
Circle Drive Reminders - Please share with other family members who may pick up your student.
Thank you to everyone following the guidelines making the circle drive a smoother experience for your community! Please see reminder below and share these rules with other family members who may pick up your student at times.
Arrival/Dismissal - updated information
- Our building doors open at 9:10 am. Please do not drop off early, as there isn't adult supervision outside of the building. You may only use the front loop for drop off
- Upper El Centrum doors close at 9:15am If your child arrives later than this, please use the front doors of the building.
- Safety first! Drivers will need to remain in their lane until all students have been unloaded; you are not allowed to pass other cars if your children unloaded first.
- Also for safety reasons, drivers and other adults must remain in the car during pick up and drop-off. If your child requires help getting in or out of their vehicle please park in the parking lot and walk to the doors to get your child/pick your child up.
- Always have your green name sign clipped to your passenger visor during afternoon pick up - this keeps things moving quickly for the entire Spring Mills community. Please let your child's teacher or the office know if you did not receive a sign and we will send them home with your child.
- When possible, please move your child's seat to the passenger side of the vehicle. Children should not be exiting out into traffic, but rather on the curb side.
- The school day ends at 4:08 pm. Please do not arrive before 4pm. DO NOT EXIT your vehicle from the circle to meet students.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!
