Halloween is soon approaching. At the middle school, we do not host holiday parties, nor do we have classroom treats during the holidays. At the middle school, we sponsor other activities from spirit weeks to dances, and other building incentives throughout the year.

Our first spirit week is Kool 2 B Kind Week and includes Halloween, where students are permitted to wear costumes, with restrictions, and participate in daily spirit attire, promoting kindness, throughout the week of October 31st through November 4th.

Costumes must meet the following guidelines:

 · All costumes must comply with dress code rules.

· No full face masks are permitted; however, students may wear moderate face makeup — nothing extreme. No makeup or         aerosol cans are permitted at school.

· Costumes may not demean any race, religion, nationality, handicapped condition or gender.

· They should not depict gangs or horror characters, or be scary.

· No weapons or look-a-like weapons permitted.

· Appropriate shoes must be worn.

Monday, October 31 - Halloween (Being kind to one another does not have to be spooky) - Wear Halloween costumes (see restrictions above)

Tuesday, November 1 - Twin Day (Supporting each other is a great way to be kind) - Find a friend and dress alike

Wednesday, November 2 - Pajama Day (Be comfortable to be yourself) - Wear your favorite pajamas (MUST be school appropriate)

Thursday, November 3 - Scrabble/Mix It Up Day (Mixing it up can be fun together) - Wear mismatched clothing

Friday, November 4 - Spirit Day (Southeast Pirates treat everyone like GOLD) - Wear maroon and gold attire

Our next parent e-letter will be emailed home during the 1st week of November. If you change an email address or know of someone not receiving this monthly information, please notify our building secretary, Mrs. Witkosky ([email protected])

If you know of someone new to the district, please have them contact the appropriate building secretary to schedule an appointment to enroll.  Students in 7th-12 grades MUST be enrolled prior to participating/practicing in ANY fall athletic program.  For grades 7/8, contact Mrs. Witkosky ([email protected]) and for grades 9-12, contact Mrs. Cottrell ([email protected]) to schedule an appointment prior to the first week of August (when athletics begin).

If you are moving out of the district and your child(ren) will be attending a different school district, please contact the building secretary.  She will need the name of the student and the name of the district the student will be attending, so that your child's records can be forwarded to the new district.

If you have any questions, the best way to contact us is via email ([email protected]).

Thank you

Clinic/Nurse - Our district has a nurse on staff.  However, our nurse is mainly at the elementary building, but can be called to the middle school for illnesses or emergencies.  If a student is ill or injured, he/she should report to their teacher, and with the teacher's permission, should report to the office.  The office staff will assess the situation and will either contact the nurse or have the student call home.

Updates/Directory Changes - If you have changed a phone number or email address, please contact the building secretary, Mrs. Witkosky ([email protected]), so that we can update that information in our system.  If you have moved within the district, you will need to complete a Bus/Address Change Form and include proof of residency (a homeowners or lease agreement).  If you have had a change in marital status, please be sure to send a copy of the court documents to school.

Cell phones - Students are permitted to bring their electronic devices to school.  They may be kept with the student throughout the day, however, they should be shut off and put away.  If an emergency arises, parents should contact the office to have a message/note relayed to your child.  Students may be granted permission to use their phone to call home, but may only do so in the office area.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to email our building secretary, Mrs. Witkosky ([email protected]).

*Forms need to be completed by your physician, parent, and student and returned to the coach for each activity.

The definition of interscholastic extracurricular activities is defined as a school sponsored activity involving more than one school district. The Board permits students in grades 7 and 8 to participate in interscholastic/extracurricular activities if they have at least a 1.5 GPA and pass a minimum of 5 classes (OHSAA guidelines).  Failure to comply with the grading period eligibility requirements will result in extracurricular interscholastic ineligibility for the succeeding grading period.

Winter sports (wrestling, basketball) - begins the first week of November

Spring sports (track) - begins the first or second week of March
