🍭🍬 How many candies are in the jar? For $1.00, students will be able to make 2 guesses for how many pieces of candy are in the jars. Because this event has become so popular with the students, the ending date has been extended to Tuesday, April 22nd. Winners (the closest guesses without going over) will be announced on Wednesday, April 23rd. Winners will win the jars of candy. There will be a sales booth set up in the cafeteria each morning, before school, from 8:00am-8:30am, where students can make their guesses. All students, PreK-5th Grades, are invited to participate in this exciting fundraiser. All fundraiser proceeds will go directly to 5th Grade's end-of-the-year IB Exhibition Project where they will be packaging food items for those in need. If you have questions, please our 5th Grade teaching team (Mrs. Orr, Mr. Osakue and/or Ms. Montgomery). Thank you!

Hello Spring Park Elementary Families,
This is Principal Parker. I hate to interrupt your evening, but I wanted to share with you that our school was on a precautionary lockdown earlier this evening due to police activity in the neighborhood. As this took place after school, this impacted our Team Up and Extended Day students and staff. But I wanted to reassure our entire school community that all students and staff remained safe, and this police activity did not involve our school in any way. I also want to thank my Team Up and Extended Day students, staff, and families for the tremendous grace you showed during this concerning incident. Thank you as always for your support and understanding. Have a great remainder of your evening.
Hello Spring Park Elementary Extended Day and Team Up families,
This is Principal Parker calling. All students and staff are safe, but our school is currently on a lockdown as a precaution due to police activity in our neighborhood. Again, students and staff are safe, but we have been advised to go on a lockdown due to police activity in the area. For the safety we are doing a controlled dismissal for our afterschool students.
Please continue to standby for an update, and thank you for your patience.
