Good morning, Springfield High! Today is Thursday, August 28th
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays the Peace Room is open and available to students for support in the Guidance Office-8:30-9am and 11:30-2pm.
One week down. 900 students have perfect attendance and overall SHS is at 92% attendance. Begin to watch the case outside the main office as three classes will get 5 ping pong balls for having over 91% attendance each day. The class with the most at the end of semester 1 will receive a grade wide reward. Freshmen, we need you here everyday to help out. If you have an unexcused absence already, be sure to have your parent/guardian call in and get it changed to excused if applicable. Unexcused can mean 0 in the gradebook. 900 of you still are still able to qualify for a discounted Homecoming ticket along with other chances at prizes and rewards. Everyday counts at SHS!
One week down and one week closer to Homecoming week. The dance will be held September 13 here in the commons and ticket info will be shared later. Spirit week is just around the corner so get ready to celebrate why SHS is the best.
Freshmen interested in running for Student Council or class officer positions will be voted on next Tuesday. Those interested must give a speech in front of your class Tuesday in the auditorium. Informational packets and speeches must be shared to Mr Kramer by Friday. See Canvas for more info. You should have received an invite to join a class of 2029 page, accept that invite and all materials are linked there. Any questions email or see Mr Kramer in 153a. Deadlines to run are Friday.
If you are interested in a career in nursing, athletic training, or physical therapy we will take a group to UIS on Tuesday September 9 to view the UIC nursing program and health sciences careers programs. You must be passing all of your classes to attend and must return a completed permission slip. Slips will be available starting Monday at lunch and must be returned this week. See Kramer with questions.

We look forward to seeing our students and staff at our home football games! But, we want to
remind you of the code of conduct. The Code of Conduct and the guidelines of the student
handbook apply to all students while on District 186 property, adjacent property or engaged in
school-sponsored activities. Any misconduct before, during or after the game will be handled by
the administration at the student’s school and will result in consequences.
Please note that students who are suspended and/or expelled are not permitted to attend
school events, including games. If a suspended or expelled student purchases a ticket and is
admitted by mistake, they will be required to leave, and no refunds will be issued.
All spectators are expected to remain seated during games. Anyone found standing or roaming
for an extended period of time will be asked to sit in the stands, failure to comply will result in
being removed from the stadium.
Also failing to abide by the football stadium expectations may result in you being escorted from
the stadium. If you are escorted from the stadium you will not be allowed to return to future
games.
No unaccompanied minors will be allowed entry into games. All K-8th grade students should be
with an adult who is responsible for their actions and monitors their movement during the
games. They should be sitting watching the games and limit walking around unless using the
restroom or visiting the concession stand. Students can not attend without an adult - they will
not be allowed entry.
Football games will conclude around 9:15 p.m., announcements will be made for students to
call for their ride at the start of 4th quarter at every game. Please make sure your ride, if
needed, is at the stadium to pick you up at that time.
We want to cheer on our teams, have great District 186 spirit and have a good time. Thank you
for assisting the Administration and the Springfield Police Department in this manner.
And Now the Pledge of Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.(Moment of Silence)
