This week we held Student Council Elections. Students gave speeches on why they wanted to be on Student Council and a goal they had for the school year. Thank you to Ms. Earl for organizing! We can't wait to see what these students accomplish!
With major changes to Ohio’s attendance rules, regular attendance is more important than ever. Being present helps students stay connected to instruction, build strong routines, and make the most of every opportunity our schools provide.
Let’s work together to make attendance a priority.
Be Here. Be Legendary. Every day. Every hour. Every opportunity.
