Dear Spruce Elementary Families,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year! I hope you and your child had a restful summer and I encourage you to begin the routine of sleeping at an early time as we come close to returning to school.

***I am testing out this new platform of communication for this school year to better reach our families. You can translate into the language of your choice at the top of this page.

Letters with class assignments will not be sent home this year.

Since our district has moved to Infinite Campus Online, parents will login to Infinite Campus Parent Portal (Where you completed your Annual Enrollment or New Registration) and be able to see your child's schedule there.

Practice logging in to Infinite Campus Portal!

Schedules will go LIVE next week. I will follow up when they are posted and ready to view next week.
