Buckeye Intermediate Buzz
March 2020
Principal Buzz with Mrs. Kelli Davisson
The 4th quarter of school is right around the corner. We are looking forward to field trips, field day, and many other exciting events. Please make sure you have paid all school fees so that you can attend your field trip. Teachers will send information home regarding each grade level trip. During the 4th quarter if any student receives an out of school suspension they will not be permitted to participate in field day events.
If you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me via email or phone kdavisson@buckeyeschools.org 330-722-8237 ext. 4342.

With April around the corner I wanted to make sure you are aware of Ohio testing dates. April 14th/15th (ELA for all grades), April 21st (5th Science), and April 30th/May 1st (Math for all grades). Please make sure that students get enough sleep each night and eat a healthy breakfast each morning! Thank you!
As always, please contact me at 330-722-8257 ext.4344 or groberts@buckeyeschools.org if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

Field Day - May 20-21
You are all invited to share in this wonderful day full of activity! Each of the events is aligned to our physical education state standards and allows the students to promote wellness and sportsmanship in a day full of fun. Classroom teachers will contact parent helpers as they determine their classroom needs and plans for the day. As always, safety is a priority, so tennis shoes, sunscreen applied before leaving home, clothing suitable for the weather and water bottles are all needed for the day. Please be sure your child brings only water in their water bottles as other drinks attract bees and this is unsafe for our students with bee sting allergies.
Please contact Mrs. Bryk, Mrs. Simmons or your child’s classroom teacher with any questions or concerns. We are all looking forward to this very special end of the school year event and hope you can join us for all the fun.
