Spring Mills Shark Notes: November 6, 2026
A Week of Celebrations, Reminders, and Upcoming Events at Spring Mills!
November is here, and fall is in full swing at Spring Mills! As the weather gets colder, we encourage families to check the forecast each morning and make sure students come to school dressed appropriately for outdoor activities. We want all of our Sharks to stay warm and comfortable throughout the school day!
It has been a busy and exciting week at Spring Mills! We kicked off Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday evening and enjoyed welcoming so many families into our building. These opportunities to connect, celebrate student growth, and work together toward student success are an important part of our school community. We look forward to welcoming more families for our second evening of conferences next Tuesday!
We also have some exciting celebrations to recognize! Congratulations to Gracie Chandler and Emma Bellis, our first Sharks of the Month for this school year! Students are nominated by staff members for consistently demonstrating our school's "3 Be's": Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible. Way to go, Gracie and Emma!
Looking ahead, there are several important events coming up at Spring Mills. Our Scholastic Book Fair will run November 9–13, giving students an opportunity to discover new books and develop their love of reading. We will also recognize and honor our veterans during our Veterans Day Assembly on Monday, November 9. In honor of Veterans Day, students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue!
A few important reminders for families:
Vision Screening: Annual vision screenings for JK, 1st, 3rd, and 5th graders will take place November 16–20.
Arrival and Dismissal: Please review our circle drive procedures to help keep arrival and dismissal safe and running smoothly. Remember, doors open at 9:08 AM, and dismissal begins at 4:08 PM.
Extra Clothing: Please make sure your child has an extra set of clothes in their backpack or locker in case of accidents or spills.
School Safety: All visitors entering the building during instructional hours must present identification and state the reason for their visit.
Attendance and Health: Please report absences using our 24-hour attendance line at 248-684-8086. Students should remain home until they have been fever-free, vomit-free, and diarrhea-free for at least 24 hours.
As we head into another exciting week, thank you for your continued partnership and support. We are grateful for our amazing students, families, and staff who make Spring Mills such a special place to learn and grow.
Have a fantastic weekend, Sharks!
Together We Can, Together We Will!
