While our buildings may be closed, teaching and learning continues. SPS remains committed to our students' success. As we move our classrooms outside the school walls and into virtual classrooms. This site, SPS Learns Together, will be our virtual hub for information, and resources. Our teachers, and staff look forward to connecting with our students and are grateful for our continued partnership with our SPS families. 

For more information about Distance Learning for All, visit the Oregon Department of Education's website here. 

Yes. Distance learning, organized by Springfield Public Schools, in collaboration with the Oregon Department of Education, is considered part of the regular school year despite how different it looks and feels. All students must participate in distance learning to the best of their ability. 

SPS remains committed to supporting students' success throughout this time, students and families in need of support to make distance learning work for them are encouraged to connect with their teacher, askSPS@springfield.k12.or.us, or 541.726.3331.

To log into Google, students should log into the SPS Portal first, then when they click on Google Classroom, they will need to use the above information to log in again. 

The simple answer is: it depends. All high school students should have their own computers to work from. It varies for students from kindergarten to grade eight. 

Although we would love to be able to provide a computer, or tablet to every child, we're currently limited in the number of devices we can provide. We ask that families with multiple students enrolled in SPS evaluate the master school schedules, particularly for conflicts during morning meeting, or advisory check ins. Most other learning can be adjusted to share a device. If you believe your students' still have a conflict please email askSPS@springfield.k12.or.us with your students' names, grades, schools and the conflict and our team will see what we can do to support your family.

Lots of resources are available in the Technology Support section of this website. Additionally, you're welcome to contact FamilyTech@springfield.k12.or.us, or 541.726.3406 to speak with a member of our technology team.

If you have not received any information from Springfield Public Schools, please email askSPS@springfield.k12.or.us, with the following information: Parent name, student name, contact information - phone number, text message number, email address.
