Announcements for Parents
Volunteers for District Committees
Springboro Schools has numerous committees that help serve the district in a variety of different ways. Every year, Springboro Schools seeks community member/parent volunteers to serve on some of these committees. Volunteers can serve for up-to two (2) years on a particular committee. The committees include members of the Springboro Schools’ Board of Education, staff, administrators, and parents. It takes a village, and our district encourages the input of our Springboro community parents.
These are the Committees where parents are part of our team:
-
Budget and Finance: Terrah Stacy, Facilitator – tstacy@springboro.org
-
Curriculum Council: Andrea Cook, Facilitator – acook@springboro.org
-
Safety Committee: Rob Robison, Facilitator – rrobison@springboro.org
Please only select one committee. You will be notified IF SELECTED for your choice of committee. We ask that volunteers, if selected, commit to attending all meetings for the specific committee of choice. These meetings are open to anyone who wants to attend.
The deadline to complete this form is Thursday, December 17 (by 12:00pm).
Calamity Day Information
In the event the district would need to close based on a weather-related event
during the 2020-2021 school year -
- One (1) to Three (3) Days
- No assignment work will be required, No remote learning for all grade levels (PreK - 12)
- This applies to both Model A and Model B students
- Four (4) Days and Beyond
- Full Remote for all grade levels (PreK - 12). Teachers will communicate lessons/assignments directly. This process will mirror the district’s Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, 2020 full remote days.
Given our current setup, with both Model A (in-person) and Model B (at-home/virtual) students, this will be the process for calamity days. If this setup were to change, details about how this could affect calamity days will be further communicated to families.

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 Update, 2020-21
This school year is unlike any other. In particular, as it relates to school fees, we wanted to share a few details on the particulars of school fees given the structure of this current school year.
As all students in Springboro Schools are given the option of transitioning between our Model A (in-person) and Model B (at-home/virtual) by quarter, this proves difficult when assessing school fees mid-year. Given this, we will review the school fees for our Model B students at the conclusion of the school year. In the event a Model B student did not receive all items within the school fee structure, those particular fees (or fee) will be prorated by quarter, and a credit or refund will be applied. Again, this will be done so at the end of this school year for any student who was in Model B during a particular quarter.
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
In addition, schools 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.
As a reminder, eighth grade students attending the 2021 Washington, D.C. trip must have their fees paid in order to attend the trip.
