2021-2022 College Credit Plus Information: Please note: An in-person College Credit Plus Informational Meeting will not be held this year.
-
The College Credit Plus Informational Presentation below contains all information that would normally be presented in-person. After reviewing the information available online, please contact the SHS Guidance Office with additional questions.
-
College Credit Plus Informational Presentation: The state of Ohio mandates that all school districts make College Credit Plus information available to students and parents each year. Important information, including updates and changes to the CCP program are outlined in this presentation. It is imperative that you and your student carefully review the presentation that is posted on the high school guidance website. Please ensure that your student follows the policies and procedures set forth by the College Credit Plus Program and the Ohio Department of Higher Ed. For additional information please visit www.ohiohighered.org/ccp.

-
College Credit Plus College Application Information: Each college has a unique application process when applying for the CCP program. Please view the presentations below for additional information regarding specific college requirements. Contact the college CCP offices with additional questions.
COVID-19 Health Information
As a reminder, it is critical that if your student, or a family member in your household, has been tested for COVID-19 and you are still awaiting results, please remain home until the results of the test are known. Do not have your student report to school while you are awaiting results. Also, if your student or a family member in your household has tested positive for COVID-19, please stay home to self-quarantine.
Do not report to school if either of these scenarios apply to you or your family. Only, if we work together, as a district, as parents, and as community members can we continue to maintain a safe school environment for all of our students and staff.
School Fees Update, 2020-21
This school year is unlike any other. In particular, as it relates to school fees, we wanted to share a few details on the particulars of school fees given the structure of this current school year.
As all students in Springboro Schools are given the option of transitioning between our Model A (in-person) and Model B (at-home/virtual) by quarter, this proves difficult when assessing school fees mid-year. Given this, we will review the school fees for our Model B students at the conclusion of the school year. In the event a Model B student did not receive all items within the school fee structure, those particular fees (or fee) will be prorated by quarter, and a credit or refund will be applied. Again, this will be done so at the end of this school year for any student who was in Model B during a particular quarter.
School Fees
School fees for the Junior High are now able to be viewed and paid online through Pay Schools Central. To access Pay Schools Central, click on the ‘Parents’ tab on the main webpage for Springboro Schools - www.springboro.org
In addition, schools fees can be paid by check made payable to ‘Springboro Junior High School.’ Please contact the main office at 937-748-3953 with any questions.
As a reminder, eighth grade students attending the 2021 Washington, D.C. trip must have their fees paid in order to attend the trip.

What about the money I have paid to Classic Student Tours?

The final cost of the late May/early June 2022 trip will not be determined until the Spring of 2022; however, Classic Student Tours has stated that the final price of the late May/early June 2022 trip will not exceed the highest monetary amount listed on the initial paperwork for the May 2021 trip, ($785-$887).
