2 - All requests must be in writing
3 - All requests must be received before 10:30a
Our car rider list is completed in the morning and shared with our staff early so that they know which students should be released to our car rider area.
After School Dance
Student Council and Crossbones will be sponsoring an after school dance on Friday, April 21st. Permission slips will be sent home with report cards on Friday, April 14th. Permission slips, along with payment, must be received no later than Wednesday, April 19th. If we don't receive enough students participating, the dance will be cancelled.
Immunizations (6th to 7th grade)
The state of Ohio requires all students entering the 7th grade to have the meningococcal vaccine (also known as MCV4, Menevo or Menactra) in addition to one dose of Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis); see form below. Students who do not provide documentation of these immunizations to the school this fall are subject to exclusion. If there are medical/religious or philosophical reasons your child cannot receive immunizations, please contact the school clinic for an Immunization Exemption Form.
8th Grade Recognition Night
Our 8th grade recognition night will take place on Thursday, June 1st, at the HS. A letter with more information will be sent home with report cards in April.
In addition, feel free to check out the middle school webpage for more information about end of the year events for 8th grade students.
Spring Cleaning - E-Waste Program

Chromebook Return (Updates) - 3/31
Our tech department has notified us that during spring break they will need to update applications on student chromebooks for the upcoming state testing. Therefore, we will be collecting all student issued chromebooks on Friday, March 31st, at the end of the day. Please be sure that your child brings their chromebook with them to school tomorrow (3/31), so that these important updates can be made before state testing begins.
Chromebooks will be returned to the students on Monday, April 10th.
Thank you
