Happy Friday Sumner Avenue Families! This year we will be instituting “Surprise Attendance Days” as an incentive to increase student attendance. Students won’t know in advance, the days will be a surprise. Students who are at school and on time on one of these days will receive a reward. We look forward to seeing students at school and on time this year!

Some additional information:

Sumner Avenue families, we are ready and excited to welcome students back tomorrow. There will be some changes to teaching and learning, since access to many of tech tools is still very limited. However, we do have access to student medical records and our phone line is working. Our doors are secure, and our safety measures are in place. Please review the FAQs on the SPS website at www.SpringfieldPublicSchools.com for more detailed information. Just click on the button that says Reopening Schools After the Cyber Incident.” See you tomorrow!

Welcome Back!
You may have heard that Springfield Public Schools experienced a cyber incident that
disrupted some of our technology systems. As a result, our schools were closed for one
week while district staff worked to address the situation and ensure that our schools were ready to reopen safely.
As parents and caretakers, you may have questions or concerns about what happened. We have created a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to provide information and address some of the questions you may have. The FAQs are available on our district website and page and will be updated as additional information becomes
available.
Our school and district staff have been working diligently to address the situation, and we are grateful to welcome your children back to school.As we return, our focus is on helping our students and staff feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. We recognize that returning to school after an unexpected disruption may bring uncertainty, and our school teams are here to support students and families.
If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your child’s school by contacting the principal or school counselor.
We are glad to have your children back, and we remain committed to supporting our
students and families as we move forward together.
Thank you, Ms. Johnson
