Youth Court
Warren County Juvenile Court is introducing a Youth Court program which will provide an alternative approach to juvenile justice for youth who commit certain misdemeanor offenses.
There are volunteer opportunities available for any high school student who lives in Warren County (current 8th grade students can apply now for next Fall) and are interested in participating in its Youth Court program. As part of this program, students will be part of actual court hearings by serving in the roles of judge, bailiff, prosecuting attorney, defense attorney, and jurors. Local attorneys and law students from nearby law schools will mentor the youth attorney. Youth court hearings will be set on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month beginning in the Fall of 2021. Applications can be accessed on the Juvenile Court website at: www.co.warren.oh.us/probate_juvenile/. For more information, click here.

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.

COVID-19 School Information |
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.
