Please READ - Changes in Ohio Attendance Laws
Please be aware that House Bill 410 was passed in December of 2016 and as a result attendance is now measured in hours instead of days. Tecumseh elementary students are in attendance 6.5 hours per day.
The state of Ohio defines a student as being an habitual truant if they are absent 72 more more hours in one school year without legitimate excuse. By Tecumseh Local Schools Board Policy students may only be absent up to five days per semester with a parent note. All absences over five per semester require a doctor’s note in order to be excused. If a doctor’s note is not provided for absences over 5 per semester or if no absence note is provided for any absence, the absence is considered unexcused and counts towards the 72 hours described in HB410.
Please be aware of these requirements and make sure you provide proper documentation anytime your child is absent from school. If your child visits the doctor or dentist during the school day, please pick up an excuse and provide it to the school office upon your child’s return to school.
Please avoid scheduling routine appointments and vacations while school is in session. If you already have a vacation planned that cannot be changed, please contact the school office and request a Student Leave Form as all vacation days are to be preapproved by the building principal. Days will only be approved if the absences will keep student under five days per semester.
Anytime a student is absent, important instructional time is lost that is difficult to make up. Please help support your child’s education by ensuring he/she is at school on time each day unless they are too sick to attend.
PTO We Need You!
The elementary festival is fast approaching. We need YOU! Contact a PTO member anytime to see how you could even help out before the next meeting. We will be holding a Tecumseh Elementary PTO meeting on the first Monday of each month. We are looking for new members to work alongside the school staff to provide educational opportunities and promote learning for all students through volunteer work, fundraisers, and activities. Our next meeting will be Monday, April 2 , at TMS at 7:00 pm. Please plan to attend. The festival group will be meeting at 6:00 that same day. Everyone is welcome. PTO has their own Remind page.

Arrival/Dismissal at NCES
Dismissal - We encourage all students to be picked up using the curb lane. 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 in the parking lot.
You are welcome to park your car and walk your child up to the school or pick them up there at the end of the day if you use a parking spot.
Thank you for your cooperation.
- Also, make sure to dress students for the weather with hats, gloves, scarves and winter coats.
- If you are in need of a coat let the office know.

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 can food tabs. Thank you for helping with this cause. The children are really excited to help out.
