Erin's Law
Recently, the Ohio General Assembly enacted Senate Bill 288 which updated the prescribed curriculum for health education to include requirements addressing child sexual abuse prevention, dating violence prevention, and sexual violence prevention. Instruction is to be developmentally age appropriate and provided annually. Students in kindergarten through grade 6 will receive instruction in the prevention of child sexual abuse. Students in grades seven through twelve must receive instruction in the prevention of dating violence and sexual violence. Norton City Schools’ counselors will be responsible to provide such instruction to our students.
Students at NES will receive Child Sexual Abuse Prevention lessons during Enrichment class during the month of April. We understand that there may be circumstances where you would prefer that your child not participate in the required prevention education. Please read the opt out letter below for more information.

Spring Break
Spring break is set to begin Friday, March 29 and will end Friday, April 5. School will resume on Tuesday, April 9 due to school being closed for the solar eclipse (see more information below).
School Closed April 8 - Solar Eclipse
This historic event in our area will impact our school schedule on April 8, 2024. On this day, a solar eclipse is set to occur, providing a unique experience for our community.
In light of this event, and with the safety of our students in mind, we will cancel school on April 8, 2024. We believe that witnessing a solar eclipse can be a memorable experience for our students and families, and we want to ensure that they can do so safely.
To facilitate this experience, and as a precaution, we will be providing all students with appropriate eye protection to observe the eclipse. The safety of our students is our top priority, and these safety measures are in accordance with guidelines recommended by experts in astronomy and eye health.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
