6th Grade Enrollment Information Night
5th grade students and their families are invited to a 6th Grade Enrollment Information Night at Spring Hill Middle School on Monday, February 3rd at 6:00pm. An information session from the principals and counselor about required courses and elective options available to students will take place in the Auditorium. After the presentation, the building will be open for you and your student to explore and become familiar with the set up of our school.
Starting February 10th, you can start entering elective classes into Skyward. This final step will make course choices official requests.
QUESTIONS? If you cannot attend the family meeting and have read the information your student brings home, please email your student's middle school counselor, Haley Weidert, at weiderthal@usd230.org.
Webster Carline Drop-Off
Student safety during morning drop-off is a top priority. If a parent chooses to park their car rather than join the carline, they must walk with their student using the designated crosswalk to ensure student safety. Additionally, staff may approach your car to assist in letting students out even if you're not at the front of the line. This process helps maintain a smooth flow of traffic while keeping all students safe.

2 Hour Early Dismissal: Wednesday, February 12th
Due to parent/teacher conferences, students will be released from school at 1:10pm on Wednesday, February 12th. Please make sure to contact the SHES office if you have transportation changes that day.
Parent/Teacher Conferences: February 12th - February 13th
Parent/Teacher conferences will be held at SHES on Wednesday, February 12th from 3:40pm - 7:40pm and on Thursday, February 13th from 1:00pm - 7:40pm. These will be student led conferences, so please make sure your student is in attendance so they can share with you all they have been learning. Reminder: the parent/teacher conference scheduler will close on Skyward on February 10th at 3:00pm.
Parent/teacher conferences are an excellent opportunity to share both concerns and celebrations with your child’s teacher. These discussions help foster a positive partnership focused on your child’s success. Please remember to reach out to the teacher directly with concerns you may have rather than posting on social media, as this allows for more productive and private conversations. Teachers truly appreciate parents who communicate openly, as it strengthens the connection between home and school.

- Thursday, February 13th
- Friday, February 14th
