Dear Summerside Eagle Families,
As we head into Spring Break, we hope everyone gets to slow down a bit this next week, to rest, read a good book, and recharge for the last two months of the school year! Our students have been working hard, and we know you have too, in getting your children to school on time each day, making sure they are well-rested, ready to learn, and supporting their homework completion at night. Spring break allows for a little less stress and time to reset routines to finish strong. Be sure to see below for many celebrations of their hard work!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Courtney & Ms. Lowe
P.S. Please note that the school is closed during spring break. We will look forward to seeing our Eagles back at school on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, as our spring break was extended due to the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024. Look for the next Summerside Eagle Update on Saturday, April 13, 2024.
An egg hunt filled with gratitude and smiles!

West Clermont families and staff,
We are pleased to share that the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce announced last week that West Clermont School District is a 2022-2023 Momentum Award winner! In addition, West Clermont Middle School and Willowville Elementary also received this same award.
The award recognizes the achievements of Ohio’s school districts and individual school buildings for improvements made on the School Report Card. Awardees must improve their Performance Index by 3 or more points over the previous year’s Report Card and receive a Progress rating of 4 or more stars. Out of over 600 school districts in the state of Ohio, West Clermont is one of only 42 districts to receive the Momentum Award.
For more information, please see this press release.
