Students Not Attending

Permission slips are available for students to pick up from Mrs. Jordan's room. There are also permission slips posted to the Google Classroom. Please have permission slips and money turned in to Mrs. Jordan or the main office no later than October 20th. Because of the process of getting checks cut, no student will be permitted to attend the field trips if they do not turn in these documents and money by the due date. Please email Mrs. Jordan at sjordan@springboro.org if you have any questions. 

For students who are not attending D.C., a Google Classroom has been created for student and parent information. Please use this as a means to stay up to date on information, costs, and permission slips. Mrs. Jordan sent out invites last week to students, but please email her, here, at sjordan@springboro if a parent would like added.
