2016-17 Open House
It's not too soon to mark your calendars for Open House, 2016. All Elementary buildings will hold their Open Houses on the evening of August 22nd. Whitney's program will run from 5:45-7:30. I have included this LINK to an informational flier from Mr. Stacho. Please note that Open House is an evening for dialogue between school staff and parents. We request that you please make arrangements for your student(s) and siblings to remain at home. Middle School Open House will be on August 25th from 6:30-8:30.
Best of Luck to all students in the 2016-17 school year!
Recognition Assemblies
For years, Strongsville elementary schools have practiced a tradition in which the 6th grade class participated in a recognition assembly. With the grade level restructuring that accompanies the opening of the new middle school, Whitney got twice the fun this spring as both 5th and 6th graders are departing. Pictured above is the ceremonial "CLAP-OUT" that took place after today's 6th Grade Recognition Assembly.
We wish good fortune to our departing 5th and 6th grade students as they move on to the next phase of their education.
Best of Luck - Grade 5

Revisions to the Strongsville City Schools Academic Calendars
At Strongsville’s Board of Education meeting earlier this week, the Board approved two revisions to the 2016-17 and 2017-18 academic calendars as detailed below:
Beginning in 2016-17, the district will move to a trimester reporting structure in grades K-5, and remain with a quarterly reporting structure in grades 6-12. Preschool reporting will remain consistent with their current structure.
Excluding the last day of school, we will have two early release days in each academic calendar with the first Early Release Day in October and the second in March.
Your child's final report card will be posted in PASS on May 27! Please check your PASS account to see your child's grades.
THANK YOU WHITNEY STUDENTS, STAFF AND PARENTS!
