A Welcome Message From Superintendent Furton

As you explore the Spring Lake Public Schools website and learn about the many opportunities we offer to children and adults throughout the Tri-Cities area, I hope you sense the dedication of this community in providing every opportunity and meeting every need for our children. I was drawn to Spring Lake Public Schools because of that dedication, which in all my years of education has felt unparalleled. At Spring Lake, we set high standards for our students, but we also ensure that every student has the unique attention they need to meet these standards. Whether it is a pre-school program preparing children for kindergarten, after-school and in-school tutoring programs, technology training or support for families and parent education, we are here for our students.

Your child is a thread that unifies all of us—faculty, volunteers, coaches and staff. The strength of this district lies in a resourceful and responsive staff that works in partnership with students, parents and community organizations to meet the needs of all SLPS children, and we are honored to pursue that work. I’m excited for all that lies ahead for Spring Lake, and I am grateful for your interest in our school system. Your family is welcome here.

Warmly,
Dennis Furton, Superintendent
