Through your donations, Springer PTA is able to provide all students with their all the supplies needed!

Traditionally, TK & K's first few weeks are half days, so they only need their backpack and a snack for those going home after dismissal. Those who will attend an aftercare program should also pack a lunch.

Grades 1-6 need their backpack, a snack, and their lunch if sending from home.

For TK and Kindergarten: walk your child to their classroom, they will always meet there, and teachers will walk them to assemblies if they are attending. Join us for Wednesday assembly for school announcements, awards presentations, and more!

For all other grades: there are yellow lines marked with room numbers on the blacktop quad in the center of campus. Students line up there every day with their classmates at the first bell and will have a morning assembly, weather permitting.

Yes! Both the Los Altos Chinese School and Abracadabera will pick up TK & K students dismissed at noon in the first few weeks of school.

TK/K will have lunch brought to them at morning recess during those days. That may lead to a hungry child come noon so packing a lunch those weeks is advisable.

California has become the first state to pass a universal free school meals program for all public school students. Free Breakfast and lunch will be offered at all schools, for all students. There are no sign ups ahead of time. Learn more here.

You will be emailed a few days before school begins your specific class assignment. There is also an event each year called Pop ‘n Stop (pop is short for popsicles, provided by the PTA) where you can come to see the posted lists , enjoy a popsicle, talk to after school program representatives, find out more about Springer programs, and your kids can enjoy a Bike Rodeo hosting by the City of Mountain View. Bring your dinner and picnic with our community!

This is a great time to take your student over to see which classroom is theirs and to familiarize yourself with the campus if you have not done so previously.

Everyone has a mid-morning snack and recess break, slightly staggered for TK & Kindergarten. Lunches are staggered in the afternoon from 11:45-12:45. There is a morning snack (before the first bell) and free lunch provided for all students. More information here.

The best time to start learning about opportunities is at the Back to School events hosted by the PTA at the beginning of school. There will be many parents there to meet and chat with and lots of lists of school activities that require parent help to happen!

You will also receive many emails about PTA meetings and opportunities to volunteer! The spring auction is a big event for fundraising and the October Walkathon is an historic Springer fundraiser all students love.

Back to School Night will give you more information about the various events that will happen for your child’s specific class and volunteering for those.

For more information about volunteering, check out the PTA's volunteering page.
