A Message From The Superintendent
Spring is the time of plans and projects. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Springtime is certainly a very busy time in Spring Hill ISD as we work on numerous plans and projects across the campuses and district. In addition to planning for academic and extracurricular activities, we are also planning for the rare, total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. All four campuses are formulating plans for students to have the opportunity to view the solar eclipse in an organized, monitored outdoor space. Campuses will provide students with appropriate glasses for viewing as well. Please be watching for communication from your student’s campus regarding the solar eclipse viewing.
We are excited to share this amazing teaching and learning experience with our students!
Sincerely,
Penny Fleet
Always Panther Proud!

SPRING HILL ISD ESL PARENT INFORMATION
Read Together
Make reading together a routine in your household. Reading with your child regularly is one of the best things you can do to increase your child's language skills. Talk about the pictures, the story, or the characters. Ask your child simple questions like: What happened first? How would you change the story? Remind me, what happened in the last chapter? These conversations will help reading comprehension and speaking skills that will lead to stronger writing skills.
Leer juntos
Haga de la lectura juntos una rutina en su hogar. Leer con su hijo con regularidad es una de las mejores cosas que puede hacer para aumentar sus habilidades lingüísticas. Hable sobre las imágenes, la historia o los personajes. Hágale a su hijo preguntas sencillas como: ¿Qué pasó primero? ¿Cómo cambiarías la historia? Recuérdenme, ¿qué pasó en el último capítulo? Estas conversaciones ayudarán a comprender la lectura y a desarrollar habilidades de expresión oral que conducirán a habilidades de escritura más sólidas.
