School Supplies:
You have the opportunity to purchase a school supply kit for your child(ren) from our PTO. You may also purchase supplies from your favorite store.
Our PTO uses 1st Day of School company as a source of our preordered school supplies. If you order a kit, your child's supplies will be delivered directly to his/her classroom before the start of school. The deadline to order is July 1, 2023. Please go to 1stDaySchoolSupplies.com to order. Be sure to click on the Shamrock Springs tab and then the appropriate grade level.

Fill Out Safe Visitor Background Check
We recommend this process being completed before the start of school.
Background checks can take between 5-10 business days to complete.
Background checks: A SafeVisitor background check will be required for anyone who visits our schools, including family members and friends of our students. If you are planning on being a lunch guest, attending classroom parties, volunteering in the classroom, being a room parent or attending any of the field trips as a chaperone, a background check is required. You may come into the school office without a background check, however, you will not be allowed into the rest of the school. For more information about Safe Visitor, click here.
