A district-wide lockdown drill will take place on our campus on Friday, September 5th at 2:10pm. This is an annual event to review safety procedures with all students and staff. Our Technology and Admin team will use this drill to ensure the Centegix Crisis Alert system works properly. There may be extra emergency vehicles on campus during this time.
📢 Heads Up, Tiger Families! 🐾
New this year. We have monthly scheduled 2-hour delays for STUDENTS ONLY ⏰
✅ Why? These are not weather delays—they’re Professional Development days for our amazing staff to learn, plan, and grow!
✅ Who? Students start 2 hours late. Staff still report at their regular time.
📅 Check your district calendar or Below for exact dates! This will be a time to learn, collaborate, and plan to better serve our students. Thank you for supporting our teachers so they can continue to give their best!! 💙🧡

September is National Attendance Awareness Month!
Attendance is one of the biggest factors in student success. Missing just two days each month can quickly add up and impact learning, grades, and even graduation. Let’s work together to ensure our students are in school, on time, and ready to learn every day!
Showing Up Matters for R.E.A.L. – Relationships, Engagement, Achievement, and Learning.

Your order forms will be coming home with your student soon—be sure to watch for them!
As a reminder, all NEW students, as well as those entering Kindergarten, 7th grade, and 12th grade, must be current on their required immunizations by September 3.
Ohio law provides a 14-day grace period from the first day of school (August 20). After this period, if immunization records, a medical exemption, or other required documentation have not been submitted, your student may be excluded from school until compliance is met.
Thank you for helping us keep our school community healthy and safe!
