The end of the third quarter was last Friday. Parents should be able to look on PowerSchool to see their student's grade cards. As we head into the fourth quarter and hopefully some warm weather, please encourage your students to stay focused. The fourth quarter brings the state- required end of course tests, some of which students have to pass in order to graduate. We will begin the Ohio State Tests in April.

Upcoming Events:

• Spring Break is March 17 - March 24
• Spring Sports seasons start next week

With student safety being paramount, the district administrative team is continuing to look at options for traffic in the bus loop. The team has met to look at possible options to minimize traffic in the bus loop and alleviate confusion at the three-way stop at the end of the bus loop. You should get an updated message near the end of Spring Break about the changes we have made. Thank you for your patience as we work to make sure our students are as safe.

• The PBIS incentive took place today, March 16th, for the middle school and high school students who demonstrated Accountability, Citizenship, and Tolerance throughout the 3rd quarter.

• The middle school earned a tropical themed party in the gym, with 10 stations of different activities offered.

• The high school earned a Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory themed snack buffet.

• Thank you to everyone who participated in the Hidden in Plain Sight event that took place during conferences on Tuesday, March 14th. We look forward to continuing this partnership with Knox Public Health and KSAAT, and we hope to offer the program again next school year.

• Seniors continue checking your email for updated scholarship information from Mrs. Barta.
