We have done our best to accommodate families throughout the year, as students have moved between attending school online or in-person. However, as we approach testing season and the end of the school year, we feel that it will be best for students to have consistency in their learning environment. In order to assure the best quality of education, consistency of instruction and assurance of your child’s progress, we are putting a deadline on movements between online and in-person transfers. If you would like to change your student’s status for the remainder of the school year, please contact the district office at 740-670-7005 by the end of the day, Friday, Jan. 22.

School lunches are continuing to be offered at no cost through the rest of the 2020-21 school year, after the Ohio Department of Education received approval to continue the program. Parents do not need to fill out any additional forms for the school lunch program to receive this benefit for the 2020-21 school year.

Superintendent David Lewis was able to visit classrooms across the district this month to congratulate our December 2020 Citizens of the Month. Students are honored monthly based on their actions inside and outside of the classroom at school. They are nominated by their teachers.
