7th Grade VSP Science Field Trip at the Springfield Water and Sewer Treatment Plant (Bondi's Island)

Thank you SWSC for sponsoring and educating our students on public works and how we treat our water.

Springfield Public Schools Reopen Following Winter Storm

Springfield Public Schools will reopen January 28th after being closed for two days due to the recent snowstorm. As schools reopen, student and staff safety remains the top priority. Snow removal efforts have taken place at school buildings, but winter conditions may still impact travel across the city.

The district is asking the community to help keep students safe by clearing sidewalks near homes and properties. When sidewalks are not shoveled, students are often forced to walk in the street around snowbanks and icy areas. Clear walkways make a meaningful difference for children traveling to and from school.

Students who ride the bus should be prepared for possible delays as drivers travel carefully in changing road conditions. Students who walk to school should review safe routes with an adult, remain alert, avoid walking in the street whenever possible, and allow extra time to arrive safely.

Families are encouraged to ensure students are dressed appropriately for cold weather, including a warm coat, hat, gloves, and boots.

The district also reminds students to use caution in parking lots, at bus stops, and while entering and exiting school buildings, as surfaces may still be slippery.

Springfield Public Schools appreciates the partnership of families and the broader community in helping ensure a safe return to school for all students.

Due to weather, schools will be closed Monday, January 26 and Tuesday, January 27, and there will be no after school activities. SPS Student Assignment Services and Central Office will be closed on Monday.

Stay warm and Be safe.
