Spartan Families, your creative side is needed!!! National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4-8, 2026. The Michigan Department of Education’s (MDE) Office of Educator Excellence wishes to celebrate teachers across Michigan for the entire month of May.
MDE invites parents/guardians to submit 15-30 second videos of their students recognizing and thanking a specific teacher for their impact. Cell phones easily capture the videos. Please follow the directions on the flyer. Videos and parental consent must be submitted via the Teacher Appreciation Video Project Google Form. Videos are currently being accepted until April 15, 2026.
Submitted videos may be posted on the Teacher Appreciation Month webpage and MDE’s YouTube channel. Additionally, the Office of Educator Excellence’s Facebook (@MIeducator) and X (formerly Twitter) will promote the videos throughout the month of May.
If your child has great things to say about a teacher, use the instructions found on MDE’s website to submit a video today!
Thank you for your consideration in recognizing the efforts of our Spartan Teachers who day in and day out, come to school armed with an 'A-Game' mentality!

Good Morning Spartan Families! In light of the recent devastation that occurred on Friday afternoon in the areas surrounding Union City, I wanted to alert you ahead of time of a tornado drill we will be having this morning at 10:00AM. I also wanted to make you aware of the state-wide Tornado Drill which will take place at 1:00 on Friday, March 20. The drills are part of the requirement on schools to conduct fire, tornado and lockdown drills with each new school-year. I hope you have a GREAT day and GO SPARTANS!

Good Morning Bus 220 families.
Unfortunately Bus 220 hit a deer this morning which has delayed the pick up of students on the route. All students and the driver are fine with no injuries reported. Other drivers are assisting in the pick up of the students on the route. There will most likely only be a 5 minute delay in pick up times this morning.
Thank you for your patience.
Have a good day and GO SPARTANS!

Tomorrow is Count Day #2! That means every Spartan student really counts—yes, even the ones who move a little slower in the morning 😉☕ If your child can be at school tomorrow, please send them in! Count Days help determine funding that supports classrooms, programs, and opportunities for our students. Thanks for helping us finish strong and for being such an awesome support to the SPS Staff!

FREE BREAKFAST FOR ALL!!!! Did you know that all SPS students have the opportunity to receive breakfast at no cost, each and everyday?
Did you also know that 6-12 grade students have the opportunity to eat breakfast an hour after the day has started instead of when they arrive? We call that Second Chance Breakfast. Students are able to go to the cafeteria between 1st and 2nd hour to pick up a breakfast and as long as they enter 2nd hour with the breakfast, they will not be marked tardy or absent. Just one more way SPS staff looks out for the best interest of our students!
Our Food Service Department does an outstanding job in providing breakfast options that our students like and eat!! Hats off to that crew for their hardworking!
Have a GREAT day and GO SPARTANS!!
