Announcements for Parents
COVID-19 Data (Students & Staff)
The district has data available showing the number of confirmed, positive COVID-19 cases for both students and staff, throughout each school building, within a one-week time frame, as is required to be reported to the State of Ohio. Each week's data for the current school year will be archived for view.
Dress Code
Appropriate student dress and grooming practices are as important as appropriate conduct in Springboro Schools. Part of the total education of students is learning to dress appropriately and behave responsibly in a variety of situations, and students are expected to dress in a manner that is appropriate to the school environment. The best guide for proper dress and grooming is common sense, and it is best supervised by students and parents/guardians for themselves. To review the Springboro Community City School District Dress Code, please review pages 27-28 of the Student Handbook.
School Fees
School fees for Junior High students will soon be available to be viewed and paid online through PaySchools Central. To access PaySchools Central, click on the ‘Parents’ tab on the main webpage for Springboro Schools - www.springboro.org
In addition, school fees can be paid by check made payable to ‘Springboro Junior High School.’ Please contact the main office at 937-748-3953 with any questions.
A future Principal Update will identify when school fees are available to be paid in PaySchool Central.
Up-to-Date Contact Information
We want to make sure you are receiving the latest in district and school information this school year. If you need to update your contact information (phone number/e-mail), there are two options you can use, based on the type of communication. If you do not need to update your contact information, please disregard:
- Progress Book (District Notifications): Contact the Main Office of Your Student's School Building to Update Registration Information in Progress Book, if needed.
Student Picture Day
Student Picture Day is scheduled for October 13 and 14 for Model A In-Person Learning students. For Model B At-Home Virtual Learning students, an evening photo shoot is available on October 14 at 4:00 p.m.
To purchase pictures, parents/guardians can pre-order online. All other orders will occur online after the picture proofs have been distributed to parents/guardians. This safety measure reduces papers being touched by multiple people. In addition, there will be no color background options to minimize the need for the photographer to come near the student to change the filter.
More information to come soon!

Registration Gateway
The Back-to-School Registration Gateway has been updated for the 2020-2021 school year annual forms collection, and is now open to the public. This offers parents the opportunity each year to review the information that the school has on file for your student(s), and to electronically sign all the required annual forms. If you are already registered, you do not need to re-register. This is simply to review the information we currently have on file and then sign this school year’s annual forms.
Please make note of the following new feature when logging into Registration Gateway: The Family Review functionality has been activated. Parents/Guardians will login by youngest child to update ALL students in the family.
Parents will now login to Registration Gateway with their youngest child's information:
-
Username - Youngest Student ID
-
Password - Date of Birth (MMDDYYYY)*
- *8-Digit Birthdate, No Dashes/Slashes/Spaces, Only Numbers
The district requires this information to be completed by September 30, 2020. Address changes cannot be updated in Current Student Registration Gateway. If you have an address change, please contact your student’s building secretary.
We want to provide ample time to everyone to complete the necessary student registration information. If you have any questions regarding this online process, please contact the Registration Office at 937-748-6003.
Device and Internet Accessibility
A form has been created, in order to survey our free/reduced lunch families on technology needs that may be necessary for you for the upcoming start of the 2020-2021 school year. If you have a financial hardship, and have selected Model B, or in the event the district is forced to shut down again due to State orders surrounding COVID-19, devices such as Chromebooks or internet hotspots will be necessary to continue your student’s instruction.
Based on the data from this form, devices and internet hotspots will be distributed to families with financial hardships, including, but not limited to free/reduced lunch as a priority based on supply. Please fill out the form below if you are in need of a device or internet hotspot, based on financial hardship.
