In anticipation of exceptionally cold temperatures expected tomorrow morning and a water main break that is still under repair at Jefferson Middle School, Springfield Public School District 186 will have an e-learning day on Tuesday, January 16, 2024. ALL District 186 schools will have an e-learning day on January 16th. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and staff is our utmost priority, and we thank you for your understanding as we collectively navigate through these weather challenges. Based on the weather forecast we anticipate being in school on Wednesday, January 17, 2024.
We have enacted our E-Learning day plan that allows students to receive asynchronous instruction at home, in lieu of using the District’s five extra days that have historically been added to the end of the school year.
To learn more about District 186’s E-Learning plan visit our E-Learning webpage - https://www.sps186.org/page/e-learning-information

Here's a great resource if you need help with a Christmas meal.

Congratulations to these students who earned Jimmy John’s Student of the Month for their attendance! Way to go!!




We were notified by First Student that due to a higher than normal shortage of bus drivers today, there will be buses ruing late to their scheduled bus stop. Please monitor your student's bus stops.
Also, all changes to buses have been entered into the First View App. You can use this app to track your student's bus and be informed of any bus number changes. We appreciate your patience and cooperation this morning.
See ya tomorrow!!

These girls are sad because it looks like we need more items for our Cake Walk tomorrow! We will be here tonight until 7:00 if you can go grab an item or two. You can come to the gym door and the bell!

The countdown is on!!!

Today, we were proud to host Secretary Miguel Cardona, the US Secretary of Education, Governor JB Pritzker and Dr. Tony Sanders, Illinois Superintendent of Education, on a visit to Fairview Elementary for the U.S. Department of Education Raising The Bar Bus Tour! 📚🌟 🚌
Superintendent Jennifer Gill & Fairview Principal Patricia Nikson guided our guests through the school to showcase both Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Illinois & Project SCOPE.
We're raising the bar for after-school programming and we’re thrilled to highlight its importance. Secretary Cardona & Governor Pritzker were very interactive with the students and staff during their visit and Secretary Cardona took some time to interview a few of our students for his social media.
District 186 is proud to spotlight the hard work & dedication by our educators & staff for our state and national officials.
Together, we can empower our students for a brighter future! 👨🏾🎓👩🏻🎓🧑🏿🎓👩🏽🎓🧑🏻🎓
