With high hopes for a school year of in-person learning, Springfield Local School District staff and students returned to the classrooms the week of August 16.
Above, Dorr Elementary School teacher Brandy Bilek and her students are eager to kick off the year on a bright note.
At Holloway Elementary School, Principal Nelle Ratliff could not contain her excitement as she prepared to welcome students back to the building, literally “jumping for joy.”
Although COVID-19 is on the rise, the district is following health department guidelines to ensure children have a safe and healthy 2021-22 school year.
