Good Things are Happening!!

Welcome Norbert -   Our first Muscovy duck has hatched!!  Our kids have been so excited to learn about and watch duck eggs develop and hatch in our library.  Ask your child for more exciting information.

Change of dismissal for K-2 -  During the week of April 29th, a new chiller system is being installed in the middle school which will impact student pick up for students in Kindergarten through Second grade who are dismissed from the cafeteria. During this week, all students will be picked up at the carloop. You are being provided a sign to place in your car window which will indicate to staff that you are the appropriate person to pick up your student. Loop dismissal begins at approximately 3:10 pm. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this week. We anticipate returning to our normal dismissal procedures, Monday, May 6th.

Warmer Weather - As we prepare for warmer weather, all shorts must be at six inches above the knee.  If the shorts do not meet dress code, your student will be asked to change. 

Change of Clothes: Please make sure to send a change of clothes with your student to have in case of an accident, spill or any other mishap. We are running very short on pants in our Kids Closet.  

Camp Invention: Camp Invention will be held once again at the Junior High School from Monday, June 3rd, through Friday, June 7th, from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM. Camp Invention is for students in grades 1-6 where they will build and learn about such things as glow boxes, light up game boards, transforming their sketches into prototypes, and water challenges.  There's no cost to participate, but spaces fill up fast! To register, call 800-968-4332. If you have any questions, contact Camp Director Kayla Smith by email at smithk@nfschools.org or at 330-872-0905 ext. 1109.

Kindergarten Graduation/End of Year: Kindergarten graduation will be held on May 24th at 9:30 am. This will be the last day of school for students in Kindergarten. . 

End of Year Carnival -  Last year our I-Ready end of year event was such a huge success that  we will be hosting this again this May. Students who have  met their I-Ready goals, have demonstrated our Core Values (Respectful, Responsible, Safe and Learners) and have minimum absences will be able to participate in this event. 

House Challenge -  As we round out the school year, we want to keep our students engaged and working towards a positive end of the school year. To that end, the house that earns the most points through Iready lessons, attendance and pawsitive behavior will earn a trip to the Akron Zoo on May 20th.
