Middle School Outplacement Meeting - Sept 23
September 09, 2026
All parents/guardians are invited to our Middle School Outplacement Meeting on Wednesday, September 23, from 4:30-6:00 p.m. in the Middle School Liberal Arts classroom. Regardless of your child’s current age, we know it can be helpful and reassuring to look ahead and get a sense of our process, hear about our results, and see what lies ahead.
We take a whole-team approach to 9th-grade outplacement, including mock interviews, essay-writing support, reminders to help meet all recommendation and testing deadlines, and individualized guidance sessions for families.
- Light snacks and water will be offered.
- Middle School students are invited to attend with their parents/guardians. They should be picked up at their regular dismissal time and return with parents/guardians at 4:30 OR enrolled in Extended Day.
- Unfortunately, we will NOT be providing complimentary childcare for students at other levels. However, Elementary students may be enrolled in Extended Day.
- Due to limited on-campus parking, we kindly request that each family bring only one vehicle to campus.
Kindly click the link in Springmont Weekly News to RSVP by 2 p.m. on Tuesday, September 22.

In addition to helping keep this service available for your family, Springmont will thank you by offering one FREE LUNCH for your child for each family you refer that places an order in September for at least three lunches! Simply email jstrickland@springmont.com to let us know who you referred. Once they order, we will reach out to coordinate your child’s free lunch order.
