Hello everyone! It is almost that time of the year - spring sports are soon upon us. There is a sign up sheet for boys and girls high school track in the office. We are looking to get track suits this year for the teams and sign up sheets will let me know how many I need to order. I will be setting up a new TeamReach for both teams this year as well. Parents are encouraged to join it as well if they wish.
First mandatory practice is February 23rd, and it will most likely be in the gym, depending on the weather. Any athlete still participating in Winter Sports will not be required to attend until their season is over. If parents or athletes have any questions, please reach out and I'll try to help as best I can.
Thank you!

Second Semester Starts Monday, January 12 – Let’s Start Strong!
As we begin the second semester, it’s the perfect time for a fresh start and a renewed focus on attendance. Every single day in school matters for student learning, relationships, and future success.
📌 Did you know? A student is considered chronically absent if they miss 10% of the school year—that’s just 2 days per month. Under Ohio law, all absences count (excused and unexcused).
🎯 STRIVE FOR 5 – Every Day Counts! (Students should miss no more than 5 days all year, if possible.)
💡 How families can help: ✔️ Make daily attendance a priority ✔️ Call the school within 1 hour of the start of the day if your child is absent ✔️ Send a written note, email, or doctor’s slip when your child returns ✔️ Reach out if challenges arise—we are here to help and support your family.
📚 When students are here, they are learning, growing, and building their future. Let’s work together to make second semester our strongest yet!
