With the continued high rates of transmission in the community and evidence that COVID-19 is shifting into the endemic stage, the Springfield School District will no longer be sending out building-based daily case count notification emails to families.

Effective Wednesday, January 12, 2022, we will move to updating the “SSD In-Person Covid-19 Weekly Tracker” periodically throughout the week (Click Here). Families can use the tracker to check on building and districtwide positivity counts.

SHS Students will be taking Quarterly Assessments

SHS Student Absence Procedures

Absence Procedures

1. An e-mail to the attendance office at shsattendance@ssdcougars.org, which will also fulfill the written notice requirement for an excused absence. The e-mail must include the date of absence, child’s name, grade, the reason for the absence and the parent/guardian name reporting the absence and phone number.

OR

2. A phone call to the school attendance hotline (610) 938-6110. The message should include the student name, grade, date, the name of the parent/guardian calling, a phone number, and the reason for the absence. A call must be followed-up with a written excuse note or email within three days. If a written excuse is not submitted within this time period, the absence automatically becomes unexcused.

3. Extended Absence/Vacation Request/Approval Forms must be picked up in the Student Services Office at least 10 days prior to the first day of the requested absence

Late Arrivals and Early Dismissals

• Written notes are required for all late arrivals and early dismissals. Late arrivals and early dismissals remain unexcused until a note is received. If the late arrival or early dismissal is due to a medical or dental appointment, additional documentation from the medical office must be provided to be excused. The appointment verification can be faxed to 610-938-6105 or dropped off in the Main Office.

• Excuse for Absence and Late Arrival/Early Dismissal Cards can be picked up in the Main Office.
