Aves Nation,
Thank you for all your support this week as we start our transition out of our current home. We've finalized our State testing, had some fun with our staff (food truck!), and finished our move out of the PE building. Just a few important reminders for this week. Due to demo of the PE building (which allows us to have a parking lot at the start of the year) Parent Pick-up will not be available until 3:15pm. We will be utilizing it as a temporary bus lot. If you arrive on campus early you're welcome to park in a spot, but you will be redirected if you're sitting in the bus lanes.
Also, coming up May 8 - 12 is National Teacher Appreciation Week. Please help us in recognizing our teachers on the form below. We will send your messages out and celebrate all the gratitude you show. We have an amazing staff that is dedicated to our community and we are more than appreciative of all they do for us! Thank you in advanced to PTO for all the ways they will show their appreciation for our staff.
As always, if we can support you in anyway, please reach out. We know it takes a village and are so happy to be part of yours!
-- Mrs. Schunk, Mr. Cole, Mr. Meyer

Sycamore Named a Best Community for Music Education
To qualify for the Best Communities designation, Sycamore answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs. Responses were verified by school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas.
Moving or Transferring out of Sycamore?
Parents:
If your family is moving or your child is transferring to a private school, please complete a student withdrawal form. Click on the following link for this form. Sycamore Student Withdrawal Form. The Ohio Department of Education requires a signed withdrawal form from a parent/guardian that includes the last date of attendance and the name of the new district/school.
