We are excited to offer Saturday School on Saturday, December 6th from 8:15 AM to 12:30 PM. This is a great opportunity for students to make up an absence and stay on track before winter break.

While your child is engaged in learning, parents can take advantage of the time to run errands and prepare for the holiday season.

If you would like your student to attend, please complete the form sent home or contact the school office to sign up. We look forward to seeing our students take this extra step toward success!

We’re excited to introduce a new system to help keep our Lost and Found organized and efficient. At the end of each month, all unclaimed items will be cleared out and donated to support families in need. This not only helps us maintain a tidy campus but also ensures that forgotten items find a second life.

To minimize the number of lost items, we kindly ask that all personal belongings—including jackets, water bottles, and lunch pails—are clearly labeled with your child’s name. Labeled items are much more likely to be returned quickly!

We also encourage parents to remind their children to check the Lost and Found regularly. As part of this new system, we’ll be incorporating student reminders at school to help build this habit.

Items were donated on November 21, 2025. Next donation will be on December 17, 2025.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school environment organized, responsible, and sustainable!

We believe that strong partnerships between families and schools are key to student success. To learn more about how we support parent involvement, please take a moment to review our Parent Engagement Policy and School-Parent Compacts, accessible on our school website. It outlines our commitment to fostering meaningful collaboration with families and provides helpful information on how you can stay engaged in your child's education.

The Country Springs PFA is having a Thinknlocal Fundraiser from 9/1/25 - 12/31/25. This is a great way to support our school by shopping and dining locally. Please download the app, dine and shop and upload your receipts. It's that easy!

Update!

UPDATE! Country Springs participated in a short term fundraiser with ThinkNLocal and we were honored with a 1st Place WIN! This means we earned an additional $1,000 for our school, plus the earnings from the fundraiser which were over $1,000 also! These donations will go towards our field trips and other items provided by the PFA! Thank you to the PFA for arranging this opportunity!

Happy December All Star Families! The holidays are upon us and I am so excited for the joyful and wondrous events and activities that we are celebrating this month here! As we step into this festive season, I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible growth and resilience your children have shown this year! December is a wonderful time to pause, reflect, and spread kindness. Encourage your child to share gratitude, help a friend, or simply enjoy cozy moments together, these small acts make a big difference. Remember, the holidays can bring excitement and sometimes stress, so let’s keep routines steady and hearts warm. Thank you for partnering with us to nurture happy, healthy learners. Have the merriest of holidays with your loved ones and friends and make sure to spread holiday joy wherever you go.

Please be sure to follow our pick up and drop off expectations to keep our All Stars safe! We appreciate your patience in waiting to drop off and pick up your child; please be courteous to one another and the staff out on duty. All drivers must remain in their cars.

For safety reasons, please use cross-walks and sidewalks only. Do not cross the driveways.
