Dear Parent or Guardian,

Springwood Elementary students in 3rd-5th grade have data folders that have helped them to track their progress this school year. These folders consist of your child’s classroom data and goals. We have also had two data chats with the students this year. Students will be holding Student Led Conferences based on the information in their folders. The conference night will be on Thursday, April 11th. Classrooms will be open to parents and students anytime from 5:30-7:00 pm.

Parents,

We are so excited to be hosting our first Student-Led Conference night! We are flipping the script, and it will be your child(ren) leading the conference and discussing their progress monitoring data with you! Teachers and staff will be available to answer any questions that you may have. However, this will not be a time to conference with the teachers. You can schedule a follow-up conference with your child's teacher for a later date.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

In an effort to improve our schools, the Leon County School District is conducting a 2024 Spring Parent/Guardian Climate Survey. We value your opinion and ask that you please take the time to complete this survey based upon your experiences at your child’s school. If you have children at multiple school sites (example – one child in elementary school and one child in high school), we respectfully ask that you complete one survey for each school. If your children attend Ft. Braden or Woodville K – 8 School you only need to complete one survey.

To LCS parents and school communities—

As Americans living in the melting pot of the world, nearly all of us have a connection to the global community, as well as to past and current events happening around the world. These connections may cause us to feel strongly one way or the other with regard to global conflicts, such as the ones presently occurring in the Middle East, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Our students are witnessing the division on all sides, and of course have their own opinions and reflections.

In accordance HB 1069 (2023), Leon County School Board has approved the attached process for those parents that would like to limit their child’s access to media center and classroom libraries.

Dear Springwood Families,

Today is an exciting day! The Donors Choose Foundation has elected Springwood as one of the schools to receive a Black History Month Double Match. What does that mean? Currently we have nine active projects that you can see by clicking the link below. Each and every dollar donated today will be doubled by the Donors Choose Community. That means all these dreamers, dreams come true in our classroom of do’ers! Help us take these wishes and turn them into reality. Every penny counts, one dollar equals two and five dollars equals ten! Let’s do this Owls!

Please see the statement below from LCS regarding mask wearing on campus. This is effective immediately. Although we will are no longer requiring masks on campus, we strongly encourage the continued use of face coverings to help protect us from the spread of Covid, the flu, and colds.

Per the newly signed Florida Law HB 1B, beginning today, face masks or any other facial coverings will be optional for students and adults on Leon County School's campuses; however, parents may allow their child to wear a face mask or any other facial covering at their sole discretion.

Good afternoon Digital Academy Families,

The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) issued an executive order recently regarding the state assessment program. These assessments, the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA), the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test 2.0 (FCAT 2.0), and the Florida Standards Alternate Assessment (FSAA), are typically administered each spring. Because of the Pandemic, these assessments were waived in Spring 2020. However, the FLDOE has affirmed that the assessment program will be reinstated for Spring 2021.
