Weekly Updates:
Coronavirus Information:
Mount Vernon City Schools is proactively working with the Knox County Health Department relative to the Coronavirus. While the risk to the general public is low at this time, we believe it is important to proactively plan and address the many issues and concerns that may arise should an outbreak occur. It is also important to know that the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) and the Knox County Health Department stay well informed, releasing frequent updates. While the latest information provided below states 'early childhood care providers', we believe the information is pertinent to all grade levels. We will be posting the latest information from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on the school website.

5th Grade Camp Parent Meeting-2/27:
A special thank you to everyone that was able to attend our 5th Grade Camp Parent Meeting last night. It is our goal as a district to ease the transition into Middle School for each student by bringing all 5th Graders in our school district together during this three day camp experience. Beyond this ease of transition process, we believe there is a lot of learning that takes place in the great outdoors. Out of all of the three different camp experiences that I have experienced over the last seven years, I can honestly say this is the best one. Heartland Outdoor School offers a very professional staff, excellent facilities, wide variety of workshops, and fun activities to all of our students. The Fifth Grade Teachers and I will be attending, and encourage all to be a part of this wonderful experience.
If you have not already done so, please make sure you fill out this Health Form for your child:
5th Grade Health Form (BUILDING CODE:WIG0406)

Quick Links on Our Website:
If your child uses, Google Classroom, i-Ready, Fast ForWord, Successmaker, or Prodigy, I want to make sure that you know that I have placed these quick links on the right handside of our website for their use. If you wanted your child to use any of these programs from home, they would be able to do so (as long as they normally use them at school). In several of my meetings with parents, this topic has come up and I want to make sure that this is a known fact. Please CLICK HERE to view these QUICK LINKS or go directly to our school website.
