Parents and Friends,

School is right around the corner and we are looking forward to having our students start school on Wednesday, August 21, 2024! All students will start school at 7:55 AM with our doors opening at 7:45 AM each day. Our kindergarten students will start on Friday, August 23, 2024.   

All students, except for preschoolers, will enter and exit the building in the main elementary and high school doors. Bus students will arrive near the elementary entrance and walk to the main entrances. Preschool students will enter the building at the elementary playground entrances like last year.

We are excited to introduce new staff members this school year.  We welcome grade two teacher Shelby Hemminger to our elementary school.  Shelby is a recent graduate of Baldwin-Wallace.   

Our Jacket Leadership group along with our high school and middle school teachers and administration, will be taking our students on Thursday (grades 9-12) and Friday (grades

6-8) offsite for a team building and leadership retreat. All students in grades 6-12 will be attending, including College Credit Plus and Vanguard Sentinel students.  Our focus as a district will build off of last year to engage our students in leadership, academics, and careers.

As we begin the new school year, I want to remind parents to directly reach out to your child’s teacher or coach if you have questions, concerns or want to let them know anything regarding your child. Don’t wait for an issue to arise; be proactive and be in touch, and we will do the same. We are here to assist in any way to provide your child with the best possible education and look forward to working with you to develop your child’s gifts to reach their fullest potential. It is important for all of us to model proper communications and problem solving for students. This is done in an upstanding manner through direct and personal communication. Direct communication will reinforce a positive culture of collaboration and communication between school and home.

All families are invited to attend our open house on Monday, August 19th starting at 5:00 p.m.

I look forward to our journey together this school year. Let’s make it the best ever!

Mr. Rombach
