In anticipation of exceptionally cold temperatures expected tomorrow morning and a water main break that is still under repair at Jefferson Middle School, Springfield Public School District 186 will have an e-learning day on Tuesday, January 16, 2024. ALL District 186 schools will have an e-learning day on January 16th. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and staff is our utmost priority, and we thank you for your understanding as we collectively navigate through these weather challenges. Based on the weather forecast we anticipate being in school on Wednesday, January 17, 2024.
We have enacted our E-Learning day plan that allows students to receive asynchronous instruction at home, in lieu of using the District’s five extra days that have historically been added to the end of the school year.

Here is a rough outline of the season:
Practices will be held in the Month of January: Dates and times are TBD
Games will be held on week nights starting in February until Spring Break. (Schedule will be coming soon.)

Also, all changes to buses have been entered into the First View App. You can use this app to track your student's bus and be informed of any bus number changes. We appreciate your patience and cooperation this morning.

We are so very excited to share with you the progress we have made over the past 3 years.
We continue to close the achievement gap. We were only 0.1 point away from being recognized as Exemplary which is the top 10% of schools in the entire state of Illinois.
Owen Marsh teachers and faculty are AMAZING!
We will continue to work as hard as we can to get to that next level.
OME Pride!!!
