Dear Summerside Eagle Families,

Thank you for sharing your children with us, they are truly gifts to us and this world and we are honored to be a part of their lives this school year! We are so grateful for our partnership in ensuring that your children grow socially, emotionally, academically, creatively, and in so many other ways, all leading to our portrait of a graduate outcomes. 

See below for insight into so many celebrations and so much fun throughout this past week. Our PTO parents were busy organizing, honoring, and serving the Summerstride prizes all week long - wrapping up with our Principal for the day, leading the way along with his Assistant Principal! Students continued to be engaged in learning and leading opportunities all week long and always. You can ask your third grader about how multiplication and division help one another in solving problems in math. Our fourth graders took a trip to the Taft Theater to see a Children's Theater production this week. Be sure to ask about their experience in such an iconic historical setting as their imaginations were whisked away into Narnia adventures! 

This will be the last Summerside Eagle Update of the 2023 year.  School resumes on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, and our parent updates will resume that week.  In the meantime, we hope you all have a wonderful holiday, filled with many opportunities to simply relax, be with your family and friends, and enjoy winter break routines. Here's to a Happy New Year together! 

Sincerely, 

Mrs. Courtney & Ms. Lowe

WCHS Students shared their musical talents with us this week!

A Notice From Heidi Sandlin, District Nurse

As the weather turns colder, we are reminded that we have entered cold and flu season. The following tips can help you protect yourself and others and help prevent the spread of germs. 

1. Avoid close contact.
   Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.

2. Stay home when you are sick.
   If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. This will help prevent spreading your illness to others.

3. Cover your mouth and nose.
   Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick. Flu viruses spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk.

4. Clean your hands.
   Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
   Germs can be spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.

6. Practice other good health habits.
   Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, especially when someone is ill. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.

SUMMERSTRIDE Celebrations!

Extra recess, prize table, sundaes, slime, handprints, adventures, and so much more... thank you to all of the students and their families for raising more than $20,000 for our school!

West Clermont 'Focus on Facilities' Town Hall Series

At our next series of Town Halls, we will be turning our focus to the school buildings in West Clermont. During these Town Hall events, we will examine the changing needs in facilities as well as the challenges of aging buildings, limited space, and the need for modern learning environments for our students. Through the Town Hall process, we will establish a Community Advisory Team that will assist the district in the formation of a Master Facilities Plan that is educationally-appropriate, financially responsible, and community-supported. Make sure your voice is heard! Join us on Thursday, January 18, 2024  at West Clermont Middle School (1341Clough Pike, Batavia, OH 45103). The Town Hall will begin at 6 PM. Seating is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot here!
