Mr. Sorrels Receives the Project Excellence Award

Congratulations to Andrew Sorrels, Springboro Intermediate math teacher, on being recognized as a Project Excellence Award winner for Springboro Schools. The Project Excellence Committee of the Area Progress Council (APC) of Warren County, Inc. seeks to recognize and honor excellent teachers in Warren County. Community members in Springboro were given the opportunity to nominate educators in the district for the Project Excellence Award.

Congratulations Mr. Sorrels! You are a fantastic educator, and you are so very deserving of this award! We are so proud of you!

Ohio State Test

Students have completed the ELA state test! Next week, students will complete the Math portion of the state test. Below are our testing days:

Tuesday and Thursday: Teams Engage and Prepare

Wednesday and Friday: Teams Inspire and Challenge

Please make sure your child is here on time, especially on their testing day. Students report to their testing location at 7:30, by 7:40, testing procedures have already started, therefore we cannot allow students in a testing location after 7:40.

Also, it is important that your child is getting a good nights rest and eating a well balanced breakfast to help fuel their minds and bodies. This is a good habit to get into even when it isn't testing season! Please continue to encourage your child to take these assessments seriously by taking their time and putting forth their full effort.

Please encourage your child to show some kindness and participate!

Student Drop Off in the Mornings

Springboro Intermediate opens at 6:45am. If your child arrives between 6:45 - 7:19, they will report to the cafeteria. At 7:20, students will be released from the cafeteria to their lockers. All students being dropped off will enter the building through the main entrance. Please review our Traffic flow map for guidance on drop off procedures.

Student Pick Up in the Afternoons

Students will be dismissed at 2:20 p.m. All students will exit the building using various doors that face 741. Cars are asked to park in the shoulder on 741 in front of the building and wait for their child. Do NOT park in the side parking lot to pick up your child.

To help alleviate traffic back ups, it is important that we follow these traffic guidelines.  

1. When picking up your child, please pull all the way down to the end of the sidewalk. When the person in front of you leaves, please pull up to allow others in behind you. 
2. If you get to the pickup line and it is full, please continue driving south on 741 and turn right on Elmwood, make another right on Lookout and then another right on Mill. Continue to make this loop until there is space open in front of SI.

Water fountains are available throughout the school building, but students can also bring a water bottle and carry it with them throughout the school day. There are also 3 water refill stations throughout the building for students to refill their bottles.

Please ensure your child's water bottle has a screw on lid, no straws and water only.

Student Handbook

All students will receive a student handbook on their first day. The students should carry this handbook with them to all classes and use this to write their homework assignments in.

You can also view a copy of the digital version HERE.

If you believe your child is being bullied, harassed, or you suspect any type of suspicious behavior, contact your child’s principal or report the incident through our Student Safety Reporting System.
