Good morning and welcome back! We are excited to begin this new school year, and look forward to having a great year with you. This is the first weekly newsletter, we will post a newsletter every week, typically on Mondays.
Student Class Schedules:
If you have questions about your schedule please email Wendy at wendy.zacharias@springfield.k12.or.us. Please note:
You forecast the classes you are in, classes can not be changed unless:
-There was a scheduling error on our part (academic misplacement)
-A graduation requirement is needed
-A documented health issue (a physician statement required) stating limitations
If you notice an error, please bring it to our attention within the first three days of school. This will allow for a timely response and correction, if needed.

Tech and Supply Pick Up
You can still pick up your technology and supplies at the main A3 building from 9-4 each day.
Check Your Emails Daily!
It is very important that students and families read all emails generated from A3 and SPS. We recommend bookmarking your email account page for quick access. Students receive information in their emails through their SPS accounts, and it is an expectation that students will check their SPS emails daily. Although at times the flood of information might be overwhelming, skipping emails will put students at a disadvantage, as they will miss extremely important information. If you don’t know how to access your email please check in with us to get set up. Remember: if you have a question, it is very likely you will find the answer in your email inbox.

You’re invited to join the competitive robotics team at A3 called TRA3N REX! The season will be VERY different this year because of the pandemic, but we’re going to push through to make it work.
