Hello Greensview Families,

School Counseling lessons are in full swing, and it has been such a joy to get to be in your child's classroom. We will learn about the following topics in October:

- Kindergarten and 1st: (1) Zones of Regulation introduction; (2) Coping skills for when I am in the Red Zone

- 2nd and 3rd grade: Creating a "feelings flipbook," highlighting triggers, physical sensations, coping skills, and positive self-talk statements to help me handle uncomfortable feelings

- 4th grade: Relational aggression

- 5th grade: Understanding why doing hard things, trying new things, and making mistakes are good for my brain

Woven into each lesson is Upper Arlington's Profile of an Engaged Learner, specifically, how we can be "Responsible and Resilient" when faced with challenges.

Please look for a paper take-home note after lessons highlighting our learning. You can also find a cumulative record of each month's parent notes here. I will update it as the year progresses.

Best,

Laura Kunkle, School Counselor

As a reminder, Upper Arlington Schools will begin hosting digital safety presentations for students in grades 3-6 with internet safety expert Jesse Weinberger next week as part of UA Safety Week. A former software programmer, nationally recognized internet safety expert and author of The Boogeyman Exists: And He’s in Your Child’s Back Pocket, Weinberger believes in reaching students before or as they become users of personal devices such as cellphones, which is why she will be meeting with those grade levels.

Please complete your student’s field trip form by Friday, October 16 to provide permission for them to participate. Students who do not have permission to attend will participate in an alternate, supervised learning activity at their school.

As part of the presentation, students will be invited to complete a brief anonymous survey on paper about technology use and students’ experiences in digital environments. The purpose of the survey is to provide district-level information that can help inform our ongoing digital safety education and prevention efforts. Students will not be asked to provide their names, and the survey is not intended to identify individual students. A complete copy of the survey questions can be found HERE.

Upper Arlington Schools invites parents and guardians of students in grades K-12 to join internet safety expert Jesse Weinberger for an evening presentation on today’s digital environment and how families can support safe and responsible technology use. The presentation will build on age-appropriate digital safety presentations Weinberger will provide to students in grades 3-6, focused on digital citizenship, responsible technology use, online decision-making, and personal safety.

Wednesday, November 4, 2026
6:30–7:30 p.m.
Upper Arlington High School Performing Arts Center

In accordance with the presenter’s event requirements, this session is for adults only. Children and students ages 1–20 will not be admitted to the presentation space. Audio and video recording are also prohibited.

Our school receives federal funding through Title I to support reading programs. We invite you to join our annual Title I webinar on Tuesday, October 27 at 6:00 p.m. to learn more about this valuable program. Please click here to join the webinar and gain insight into how Title I benefits our students.

On November 3, residents will vote on a combined operating levy and bond issue that would maintain the district’s current educational programming and fund the second phase of the facilities master plan, which calls for rebuilding Hastings Middle School and Burbank Early Childhood School as well as renovating and rebuilding Jones Middle School.

As residents consider Issue 7, we are providing opportunities to get a first-hand look inside each of these schools. All three buildings will be open on Thursday, October 8, with tours beginning at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.

To learn more about the building tours or Issue 7, please click here.

Third and fifth-grade students referred for testing will take the CogAT in November. Parents should use this Google Form to request gifted testing. The deadline to request testing is 11/3/26.

All second-grade students will be tested for gifted identification in superior cognitive ability and reading in December. All fourth-graders will be tested for gifted identification in superior cognitive ability in December. Star Math is now used to screen all students in grade 1 and up. Star Reading is now used to screen all students in grade 3 and up.

As the weather begins to change this fall, we encourage families to use our Stop, Drop and Go line instead of parking and walking students into school. If you do not use the line regularly, now is a great time to practice the process with your child while the weather is still pleasant.

The drive through line is the safest way for kids to come to school. Avoid crossing the street, or using crosswalks if you can. I suggest arriving at 8:00-8:05, the Stop, Drop and Go line is practically EMPTY!

Please help your child prepare for a quick and safe exit by having all backpacks, coats, instruments, and other belongings ready before reaching the drop-off area. Students should be able to exit the vehicle and close the car door independently.

Children should never exit a vehicle into the street or walk between or around cars. This is incredibly dangerous.

We also ask drivers to be courteous to our neighbors by avoiding parking or stopping in front of driveways. Please do not turn around in driveways near the school. We have young students and families walking on the sidewalks during arrival, which makes this especially dangerous. Please take an extra minute to continue driving safely around the block.

Thank you for helping us keep arrival safe and efficient for everyone!

We’re hiring part-time and substitute food service workers to support our school cafeterias — and these roles fall within the school day schedule,

making them a great fit for anyone looking to work while students are in school.

You’ll be part of a friendly, team-oriented environment that helps fuel our students' learning every day.

Please remember that no bikes or scooters of any kind are permitted on tracks, grass athletic fields or artificial turf athletic fields, as they can cause significant damage to these surfaces.

To sign up to receive food for Thanksgiving and/or winter breaks, please complete this form by the end of the day on Monday, October 26, 2026. The school district will keep the information you provide in the form confidential unless you request otherwise.

It’s time to collect yearbook candid images for school. Every student will be featured with their school picture, but we are looking for group candid photos to include from various school sponsored events. These images could be from walking club, Walk for Greensview, Fall Family Fun night, field trips, and the Harvest/Winter parties. Please send your best 3-5 images from these events to greensviewyearbook@gmail.com

While we know many students enjoy seeing their furry friends, dogs are not permitted on school property at any time, including during arrival and dismissal. This policy is in place to ensure the safety and comfort of all students and staff.

If you're walking your dog to school for pick-up or drop-off, please wait on the perimeter sidewalks off school grounds. Your child can meet you there at the designated dismissal area.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school environment safe for everyone!
