Students Return to a Safeguarded Springer
Springer was thrilled to be back on our campus to start the 2020-21 school year! "Offering our students the opportunity to be in our classrooms to start the year was important to our entire community," said Executive Director Brett Marcoux, "so we assembled a number of teams to help that goal become a reality." Two teams instrumental to that process were the Health and Safety Team lead by Dean of Students Shanda Arthur and Business Director Mark Priest, and the Teaching and Learning Team led by Curriculum Director Diane Houghton.
"Face masks and hand sanitizer are, of course, employed everywhere in the building," Shanda noted, "and full face shields are added over masks when students need to be fewer than six feet from one another for a science experiment or a collaborative art project. Interaction between departments has been virtually eliminated by keeping Lower School students in the same classroom throughout the day and assigning departments to using specific hallways and staircases." When Springer submitted its plan to the state for review, the health department shared it with other Ohio schools as an example of excellence.
