Good Afternoon and Happy St. Patrick's Day Spartan Families!
This message is to make you aware that our district will be participating in the statewide tornado drill which will take place tomorrow (Wednesday) at 1:00PM. This is a date change from a message that I sent last week as I had an incorrect date. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused. Thank you for your understanding as we work to complete the required number of safety drills for each new school-year. Have a nice afternoon and evening! GO SPARTANS!!!
Hip Hip Hooray....it's Kindergarten Registration Information Day!!!
If you or someone you know has a child turning 5 by 9/1/2026 for traditional Kindergarten or turning 5 by 12/1/2026 for Young Fives, the SES/SHS Cafeteria is the place to be today at 5:30pm. This informational event is for both the parent and incoming Kindergartner to learn about the AMAZING place we call Springport Elementary School. This is not the actual registration as that will take place at a later time, after the informational session. Please plan for a 30 minute informational meeting in the Cafeteria and then time will be spent in the Kindergarten classrooms where fun and engaging activities are planned! We are excited and look forward to meeting the members of the Springport Class of 2039 tonight!!!! Have a GREAT day and GO SPARTANS!
Spartan Families, your creative side is needed!!!
National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4-8, 2026. The Michigan Department of Education’s (MDE) Office of Educator Excellence wishes to celebrate teachers across Michigan for the entire month of May.
MDE invites parents/guardians to submit 15-30 second videos of their students recognizing and thanking a specific teacher for their impact. Cell phones easily capture the videos. Please follow the directions on the flyer. Videos and parental consent must be submitted via the Teacher Appreciation Video Project Google Form. Videos are currently being accepted until April 15, 2026.
Submitted videos may be posted on the Teacher Appreciation Month webpage and MDE’s YouTube channel. Additionally, the Office of Educator Excellence’s Facebook (@MIeducator) and X (formerly Twitter) will promote the videos throughout the month of May.
If your child has great things to say about a teacher, use the instructions found on MDE’s website to submit a video today!
Thank you for your consideration in recognizing the efforts of our Spartan Teachers who day in and day out, come to school armed with an 'A-Game' mentality!
I hope you have a GREAT day and GO SPARTANS!

A ginormous Spartan Shoutout to Mrs. Leona Keeler for her work with this organization and doing all she can to give our students the recognition they deserve! Also a HUGE thank you to Mr. Reinold Yahnka and Mr. Bill Keesler from the Springport VFW Adams-Rockey Post 6056 for sponsoring the homecooked meal and monetary award that is given to each winner!
Happy Friday Eve Spartan Families! Friendly reminder that tomorrow (Fri. Feb. 13) is a half day of school. Dismissal for SHS and SES is at 10:40 and at 10:45 for SMS. A sack lunch will be provided for any student who wishes to take one. Also be reminded that there is No School on Monday February 16, 2026. Have a GREAT evening and GO SPARTANS!
Tomorrow is Count Day #2!
That means every Spartan student really counts—yes, even the ones who move a little slower in the morning 😉☕
If your child can be at school tomorrow, please send them in! Count Days help determine funding that supports classrooms, programs, and opportunities for our students.
Thanks for helping us finish strong and for being such an awesome support to the SPS Staff!
Have a fantastic evening and GO SPARTANS! 💙🤍
