Springfield Public School is a Kindergarten to Grade 6 school that is located in the quaint town of Springfield, Ontario. The school has a wonderful community spirit.  We take pride in our dedicated staff. Springfield has a high level of volunteer commitment from parents / guardians and the community.  We are the home of the Springfield Spitfires and we are always, "soaring to success".

In 1837, a Springfield visionary named Joel Burns donated land where our current Post Office is situated.  That first school called the "Burns School" opened later that year and played its part in developing the youth of the neighbourhood, and opened the way for better things and better education.  Next came the Udell School in 1853 which was located on George Udell's farm about 1.5 kilometres east of the village.  The third school - four room building - opened in 1873 with two classes in operation.  A third class came into use soon after and later a continuation school was begun for the fourth.  In 1922, the Department of Education informed Springfield School Board that they would not receive their grant unless a new school was built.

Springfield Public School is dedicated to providing all students with the opportunity to receive a comprehensive education in a positive environment and with the support of its community.

Healthy Snack Program

The Healthy Snack Program was started at the school in 2001 and provides all Spitfires access to a variety of healthy foods throughout the day. The program is funded by the Ontario Student Nutrition Program, Elgin Community Nutrition Partnership, and federal grant monies. It is run throughout the year by a dedicated group of volunteers who buy, prepare and deliver the snacks to the classrooms.

Although our grants allow us to provide food to our Spitfires, we also have at least one fundraiser per school year to offset these expenses. We are thankful for the provincial, federal, and local grants which enable us to provide a healthy snack for our Spitfires.
