Learn To Ride a Bike
Safe Routes to School, the Cities of Springfield and Eugene, Willamalane, Lane Council of Governments, Shift Community Cycles and Cascadia Mobility are partnering to put on two All-Ages Learn to Ride events this Spring. We aim to provide four of these events every year to reach:
- Students who need more practice on a bike after taking our kindergarten/1st grade Learn to Ride classes
- Students older than Kindergarten/1st grade who never learned to ride a bike
- Students who will be taking Bicycle Safety Education classes in sixth grade but don’t know how to ride a bike yet
- Older students and SPS staff who want a safe, helpful place to learn to ride a bike for the first time or brush up on their skills
The two events are:
- Friday, April 19 from 4pm to 6pm at the Bob Keefer Center (250 S 32nd st., Springfield, OR)

- Saturday, May 4 from 1pm to 3pm at Meadow View School (1855 Legacy St., Eugene, OR)

Annual Testing
3rd, 4th & 5th Grade students will participate in annual Oregon assessments beginning May 1st. You can find more information here:
Personal Electronic Devices
Electronic devices, such as phones, wearables, watches, and tablets, must be powered off and kept in backpacks throughout the school day. It is preferred that students keep all personal devices at home to prevent the risk of loss or damage. If you need to get a message to your student during school hours, please contact the school office 541-744-6391. When needed, students can always make calls home from the office.
Classroom Snack Guidelines
The district's Wellness Committee has created some tips and guidelines for parents to use when determining what to contribute for classroom snacks. The idea is to seek out prepackaged nutritious foods that avoid common allergens such as nuts. Snacks cannot be homemade.
General Guidelines: We suggest you keep an eye on fat and sodium content and limit artificial colors or sweeteners. Good examples are fresh or dried fruits, raw veggies; wholegrain items like crackers or cereal; or proteins like string cheese or yogurt.
For drinks, water is the preferred choice, but other uncaffeinated, relatively low sugar drinks such as juices (that actually have juice in them) or low-fat milks are acceptable.
