Principal's Message
Hello Diley families!
The students have earned the incentive for the building challenge. They have passed an amazing 11,821 lessons! This is unbelievable! I am very proud of them.
The team that won the highest average and will get a snack to go with the incentive day was Team Respect! Congrats team Respect. It was a close race but you pulled it out in the end.
I know our level-up challenge is coming to an end. But I think it is important to keep reinforcing to our students the importance of staying on top of their studies and to continue to support kindness and respect to one another and the building.
This week teams will continue to focus on lessons about Respect, Emotional Regulation, and a Sense of Belonging.
This week was a team's choice week: This is what our teams decided
Respect: Curiosity vs. Judgment
Perseverance: Perseverance
Kindness: Understanding different Perspectives
Empathy: Crest of Strengths
Integrity: Coping with Anger
Determination: What is Kindness
Spirit: Self Instructions

Immunization Requirements for Students Entering Grade 7
Per the Ohio Department of Health, all students entering grade 7 must show proof of vaccination against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap vaccine) and meningococcal disease (MCV4 vaccine).
You may take the following document with you to your doctor to use as documentation of these vaccinations, or you may submit an immunization report with the dates of
both vaccinations. Please return this documentation as soon as possible to your child’s school nurse. If this is not provided during the grade 6 school year, you will need to send this information to the junior high that your child will attend prior to the beginning of the next school year. The middle school nurses will forward all immunization documentation received to the junior high nurses at the end of this year.
Keep informed!
