​​Important Information Regarding Computers for Students 

3/31/20

Dear Sumner Ave. Families. 

Does your child need a lap top computer, but they do not have one at home? If so, Springfield Public Schools would like to make one available for your child in an effort to help ensure that every student has access to the technology they need to continue learning and communicating with their teachers during this school closure.

SPS will provide a laptop computer to any student who does not have access to a computer at home. You must register by this Wednesday if you want to receive a laptop for your student. To register to receive a laptop for your student, visit the district’s website at www.springfieldpublicschoos.com. You can complete this form on a cell phone.

Laptops will be passed out during the week of April 6th. You can either pick up a laptop from your child’s school or have it delivered to your home – both will use social distancing guidelines to help keep our community safe.

Don’t forget registrations must be completed by Wednesday if you want to receive a laptop for your student.

Thank you,

Mr. McCann-Principal

Dear Parents/Guardians,

WE wanted to give a quick update as the Governor extended school closures until May 4th.  

Grade level meetings are taking place over the next couple of days.  Grade levels will be creating and submitting review lessons for students to access while at home. Once these resources are compiled we will post them in the Online Learning Resources 2020 link above. We hope to have these resources posted on Wednesday, April 1st. 

Please stay tuned as we will update this website as new information comes in from the State and/or District. 

We want to wish everyone well.  We will get through this as we are #Sumner Strong.

Mr. McCann & Mr. Neal
