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

Halloween Costumes at Springboro Junior High
Springboro Junior High will allow students to wear costumes to school on Friday, October 30, to benefit charity. Every student wearing a costume will be asked to donate $1 to the Springboro Community Assistance Center (SCAC). The SCAC serves families of need from the Springboro area.
Please review these guidelines for all student costumes:
- All costumes must comply with the district dress code, including the face covering policy for the 2020-21 school year.
- Students may wear costumes to school; however, no time will be given to change into their costume at school.
- Costumes should be comfortable and not distracting to the learning environment. For example, you cannot wear a tall hat that prohibits other students from being able to see the teacher or wear a costume that prohibits you from sitting in your desk.
- No inflatable costumes.
- Any face make-up must be applied at home and cannot cover the entire face. Face paint and any accessories related to violence are not allowed.
- No masks
- No weapons or gory costumes will be permitted.
- No clown costumes or clown masks will be permitted.
