State Testing
We are still in the process of testing.
2019 AIR ASSESSMENT
New Carlisle Elementary students will be taking the AIR State Assessment Tests on the following days. Please make sure your child has a good night's sleep, dresses comfortably, has a good breakfast and arrives at school ON TIME. We are testing in the mornings 9:00-11:00. It would be helpful to make arrangements for doctors appointments around the school day. Thank you for your help on these days.Testing Days

Breakfast Changes for Students Next Year
“Tecumseh Local Schools has offered breakfast, free of charge, to all students in the district for a number of years. In October of 2017, we were informed the government would no longer reimburse our district, along with other districts throughout Ohio, for this service. At the time, we had already communicated to parents that breakfast would be offered to all free of cost. Therefore, we selected to continue the remainder of the year offering this opportunity to our students, recognizing it was a help to many. We examined the total cost to the district for this service at the end of the 2017-2018 year and determined we could continue to offer a free breakfast to all students again during the 2018-2019 school year.
During these two years, the Child Nutrition Department has covered the breakfast costs, which has totaled approximately $169,000 each year. The Child Nutrition Department must, as determined by federal government regulations, be a self-sustaining entity. Therefore, we are at the point in which we can no longer sustain this service for our students unfortunately. Thus, beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, Tecumseh Local Schools will be unable to provide a free breakfast for our students. We will continue to offer breakfast at each building and students who qualify for free or reduced meals will still be eligible. Students who do not qualify for free or reduced price breakfast will need to pay for breakfast.”

Child Nutrition News
Children are able to charge 3 times. After the 4th charge students will be given a turkey/cheese sandwich and carton of milk.
EZpay is a system that allows you to add money to your child's account without sending money to school. Setup is simple. If you need assistance please contact the nutrition department at 845-4519.
EZpay will allow you to receive an email alerting you how much money is in your child's lunch account. This feature can be setup in the EZpay system.
Dismissal at NCES
Dismissal - We encourage all students to be picked up using the curb lane. This is a safety concern for our students. This way you do not have to get out of your car, students can enter the car right from the curb and there is no need for kids crossing into the parking lot.
You are welcome to park your car and walk to the doors or to the light pole at the end of the cross walk. Your student will get crossed to you safely at the light pole. From there you will be able to walk your child safely to your car. WE DO NOT LET STUDENTS WALK ACROSS THE PARKING LOT ON THEIR OWN.
Thank you for your cooperation. Our students safety is our highest concern.
Positive Referrals
When students receive a positive referral their photo is taken, the receive a bracelet, candy or a pencil. Additionally, students receiving positive referrals are honored on our Chrome cast screen with their photos scrolling on the office TV all day everyday!
We hang a photo in the office and hallway of each student receiving a positive office referral and these students are also honored on our morning announcements which can be viewed on our Youtube channel. It is really exciting for our students.
Recognized for 4th Grade:
David Mecum, Eva Grafton, Brett Rogers, James Ziegler, Madaline Snider, and Libby Runner.
Recognized for 5th Grade:
Makenna Smith, Delaney Ramirez, Emeril Loza, Brock Kendall, Carter Olinger, and Elise Tidwell.
WAY TO GO KIDS!!!! You are the good example for others! Keep it up the great work.
Collection Corner
Plastic Caps
Pop Tabs
New Carlisle Elementary is continuing a school-wide collection of pop tabs. If you drink pop at home and would send the tabs in with your child we would greatly appreciate them. We also would accept dog/cat food tabs and canned food tabs. Thank you for helping with this cause. The children are really excited to help out.
