Understanding the Student Support Process

Families who have concerns related to their child’s academics, behavior, or a diagnosis are encouraged to review the process that Spring Hill School District follows to provide student support. Click here for details

Transportation Changes

If you need to make a transportation change for your student(s), please contact the office at (913) 592-7277. All dismissal changes need to be made before 2:30 PM. Changes made after this time can result in miscommunication and students not getting home the way they should. Making changes by 2:30 PM provides plenty of time for our office staff to ensure students arrive home safely.
