Online Learning Schedule
Up-to-date, Springboro City Schools has used three calamity/snow day of the 2020-21 school year. As previously communicated, once Springboro cancels three school days due to inclement weather, students will participate in online learning in place of any future calamity/snow days.
-
Moving forward for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year: Any day that in-person learning is cancelled due to inclement weather, your child will follow this Online Learning Schedule. Both Model A and Model B students will follow this schedule. This schedule allows your student to attend every class for the day using the Google Meet link found in their Google Classrooms. Your student's attendance is expected in each class on these days; if your child is unable to attend online learning, you will need to call the office, 937-748-3953 to report their absence.

Here is a link to all of the Junior High's bell schedules used this year. There is no need to remember which bell schedule is used on which day for these special circumstances, as this information will be communicated to parents (principal update) and students (email) as needed.
February 19: Remote Learning Day
Due to staff vaccinations, Springboro Schools will have a Remote Learning Day on Friday, February 19 - students will not report to school on on this day. Your student's teacher will have an instructional video and accompanying assignment posted on their Google Classroom by 11:00 am on Friday, February 19 (assignments will be posted earlier than 11:00 a.m.). Your student should spend time on Friday watching these teacher-created videos and completing the assignment. Your student will not be meeting live with teachers via Google Meet. Teachers will have various times allotted for their vaccinations, thus creating a situation that does not facilitate a schedule for students to log into a Google Meet and meet live with their teachers. Thank you in advance for your flexibility on this day - the safety of our staff is of utmost priority.

The Project Excellence Committee of the Area Progress Council (APC) of Warren County, Inc. seeks to recognize and honor excellent teachers within the public schools in Warren County. We ask your assistance in identifying exceptional educators in Springboro Schools who demonstrate excellence in instruction or innovative teachers who have pioneered a teaching method.

Please be aware that the State of Ohio has enacted new, Long Term Graduation Requirements starting with the Class of 2023.
On February 12, 2021, Springboro teachers will receive professional development regarding the new requirements. The Springboro High School Guidance Department has been hard at work creating a series of short videos to explain these changes, which will be posted for the public on February 15, 2021.

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.
