4.        Chromebook devices will be collected for all students on Monday, May 20. Please make sure students return the chromebook, charger, and case in good condition on Monday to avoid a fee. If you have lost items or have damaged chromebook or charger, please contact the office or library about the damage waiver.

5.        Reminder that all medications with the school nurse must be picked up by an adult by the last day of school. Per Springfield Public School medication policy, the school nurse is not permitted to send unused medication home with a student. All unclaimed medication will be discarded on May 21, 2019 at 10:00 am. Please contact Nurse Nancy at 523-6830 or nasadler@spsmail.org with any questions or if you need to pick them up after 10 am on the last day of school.

6.        Make Explore part of your summer plans! There will be two sessions of Explore summer school this year. This year, students can also register for online remedial classes if a student failed one or more courses in the regular school year. Register for Explore classes at sps.org/Explore or call Mrs. Kensinger at 523-6800 to register for remedial classes.

7.        Our counselors at Carver have an online form accessible in Canvas to help students as they encounter situations at school. Students can access the form at school or at home via Canvas using a chromebook to alert a counselor of a concern. If you need help or are unable to find the Canvas resource, please call 523-6800 and ask to speak to a counselor.

8.        Reporting safety concerns will now be easier with a new, anonymous tip line launched by Springfield Public Schools. The dedicated tip line will enable students, teachers, parents, or community members to notify SPS School Police of potential safety threats with a quick text message to 417-319-2901, through the MySPS app, or on the district website at www.sps.org/tipline.
