Dear Eagle Families,
Our classrooms are a buzz with learning and our students have been so engaged and focused since day one! To walk our halls, you would think we were already in school for far more than just the first 11 days with the level of learning happening in each classroom. You can ask your first grader about their writing of sentences, starting with a capital letter, and ending with a period. Second graders are working on creating and analyzing bar graphs in math class. You can ask your child what the data showed about their peer's favorite pets! Our fifth-grade scientists are studying life science habitats. Ask your child about decomposers, producers, and consumers and the examples they may have read about and seen in our outdoor education trail!
Benchmark assessments have begun! All students, kindergarten through fifth grade, will be involved in sharing what they know with their teacher and our reading specialists over the next two weeks as they complete benchmark assessments of their literacy and math skills. The results of their Acadiance (literacy measures) and iReady (math and literacy measures for grades 2 - 5) be shared via a printed report by the end of September.
All kindergarten families were notified of their child's homeroom teacher via email on Friday, September 1st. We invited our kindergarten parents to a meet-the-teacher night on Wednesday, September 6 from 6:00 - 7:00 pm.
Class library visits will be for all students in the next two weeks. We look forward to seeing students go home with library books to share at home and return each week. We appreciate how our PTO has supported adding quality books to our library each year as books open the world to our students in such important ways!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Courtney & Ms. Lowe
P.S. A reminder, students do not have school on Monday, September 4th for Labor Day. We hope all enjoy the extended holiday weekend!

Invitation to Tour the Facilities in West Clermont
WHO:
Over the next several months, we encourage all residents of the district to come out and take a tour to learn more about YOUR West Clermont facilities. Prior to some upcoming school board meetings, we are opening our doors to give the community an opportunity to see our facilities and learn about the great things they provide, what we are potentially looking to improve in the future, and learn what it takes to maintain these for our kids and community.
WHY:
Our buildings and facilities in West Clermont are critical to the success and progress of our students. It's a continuous priority to ensure that our learning spaces contribute to educational growth, student and staff safety, and a diversity of programming options. These aren't just buildings, but building blocks for the future of our students. They're also some of the most important assets of our community and they belong to YOU!
WHEN:
Our upcoming building tours are:
September 11 at West Clermont Middle School (1341 Clough Pike)
October 17 at Merwin Elementary (1040 Gaskins Road)
November 16 at Clough Pike Elementary (808 Clough Pike)
The schedule for each building tour is:
6:00-6:10 PM - Reception
6:10-6:55 PM - WCMS Building Tour
7:00 PM - School Board Meeting Starts
YES! I would like HealthSource of Ohio to send me the permission form for School-Based healthcare for my student.
