Family Update

As the weather begins to change, students will continue to go outside for recess as long as the "feel like" temperature is 32 degrees and above. Please make sure your student has appropriate clothing while they are outside, before school, during recess and on the way home.

Please take a minute to fill out the Principal Satisfaction Survey, I would like to hear your feedback about my leadership.

Each year, school districts in Ohio are required to offer an opportunity for students in grades K-12 to be identified as gifted in the area of Visual and Performing Arts. The identified areas of giftedness for Visual and Performing Arts include Visual Arts, Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Drama/Theater, and Dance. If you know of a student that may be gifted in an area of the Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) learn more about the identification process.
