Announcements for Parents
1st Quarter Report Cards
1st Quarter Report Cards were sent home with students on Friday, November 6. First, 2nd, and 3rd quarter report cards are hand carried home by students. The 4th quarter report card is mailed home after the school year. All Model B At-Home Virtual Learning students report cards were mailed home.
Please take time to look over your student’s report card. If you see areas of concern in your student’s report card, speak with your student regarding these concerns. In addition, please schedule a conference for November 13 (see below for more information) in order to further discuss your student’s performance with their classroom teacher.
If students do not receive their report card, then school fees have not been paid. If this is the case, then your student received a school fee invoice paper.

National French Week
Students in Madame Berg's French classes kicked off National French Week this week at Springboro Junior High School. This week-long celebration of all things French is taking place in schools across the United States from November 4-10. Students created surveys, hung posters, posted on social media, participated in the school news and encouraged their friends to speak a little French.

FYI Regarding Student Grades and Progress Book
If a student does not turn in an assignment on time, teachers will often mark the assignment as ‘missing’ in Progress Book. Even though there may still be time to turn in the assignment for full/partial credit, by marking the assignment as missing, Progress Book automatically counts the missing assignment as a zero as part of the overall class grade. If you see an assignment identified as ‘missing’ in Progress Book, please have your student contact his/her respective teacher.

COVID-19 Health Information
As a reminder, it is critical that if your student, or a family member in your household, has been tested for COVID-19 and you are still awaiting results, please remain home until the results of the test are known. Do not have your student report to school while you are awaiting results. Also, if your student or a family member in your household has tested positive for COVID-19, please stay home to self-quarantine.
Do not report to school if either of these scenarios apply to you or your family. Only, if we work together, as a district, as parents, and as community members can we continue to maintain a safe school environment for all of our students and staff.
School Fees
School fees for the Junior High are now able to be viewed and paid online through Pay Schools Central. To access Pay Schools Central, click on the ‘Parents’ tab on the main webpage for Springboro Schools - www.springboro.org
