Kickapoo Families,
Hello March! Here's to more sunshine and longer days. . .
A reminder we only have 9 school days left before Spring Break. The last day for students is Thursday, March 12th. Spring Break is Friday, March 13th - Sunday, March 22nd.
Let's finish 3rd quarter strong by being here all day, every day.
Make it a great week!
FREE ACT & ASVAB for ALL JUNIORS
Every Springfield Public Schools student is required to take either the ACT or the ASVAB before graduation (or a student may take both). Please click here for more information and to sign up. Deadline is March 13th. Since this is a graduation requirement if you do not wish to take either, you must provide Dr. Coffey with the reason why you are not taking advantage of this free opportunity. (For example you have already got the score you want on the ACT). You can email him directly at lcoffey@spsmail.org.
National Honor Society Invitations
Invitations to apply for NHS were mailed out Thursday, Feb. 20 to all current 10th, 11th and 12th graders with a 4.0 GPA or better who are not already a member of NHS. If you do not receive a letter in the mail and believe you should, please email Mrs. Fink at jsfink@spsmail.org. All applications are due Thursday, 3/12/2020 by 3:30 pm to the main office. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Students with D's or F's
If your student has a D or F in any class I am sending phone messages on Monday evenings.
This is based on their grade as of 6 a.m. each Monday morning. It is possible grades could
change between the time I run the report and send the message. If you ever have questions
or concerns please contact your students teacher. Thank you.

We have two interventions to support students.
IF a student has 2 or more F's in core classes they will be in IPLT (Intensive

We also have an after-school intervention, Chief Intervention Accountability Option,
that is held after school from 3 - 4 p.m. in the library classroom Monday through Thursday.

LeadSGF Academy Applications Open
The applications for the 2020-2021 Academy Class program have officially launched and we are in the process of recruiting current high school sophomores to apply to be in this program during their junior year.
The Leadership Springfield Academy Class is a community leadership program established in 1990 to help youth in their junior year discover how to be more engaged citizens and develop as community leaders. During this nine month program in the 2020-2021 school year, a class of 32 students will explore their strengths, learn about the local community, and coordinate monthly program days where they get to see firsthand how leaders work together to structure and influence the community around them. Students will gain project management skills, leadership aptitude and a newfound appreciation for the work that goes into making our community function. Most of all, the program is designed to inspire, develop and connect our local students to see the impact they can have on the community.
I have attached a flyer and program year calendar. Please feel free to distribute these to any sophomores you know in the Springfield community. The students may complete the Academy Class application online anytime between now and March 30. Please note that they do not have to complete this application at one time. To save and continue working on your application later, they may click 'Save' at the bottom of any page, enter your email address, and click 'Send' to email yourself the link to continue working on your application at a later time.
Please visit our website for more information on the program.
Thank you,
Ashley Clair, Communications Director
