Worthingway Middle School Updates
9/4/2020
Dear Families,
I am so lucky to work with our Worthingway staff during these difficult times. I am so impressed by how much they are willing to do to help our families. From phone calls to home visits, nothing is too small. And our families have responded in kind. Thank you for reaching out, offering support, and asking questions. If we don't know what you are struggling with, we can't help.
Case in point, Mrs. Newcomb (Senora to her students) noted that a student could use some headphones at home to help with learning. She spoke to the family, and within 20 minutes, I was on my way to the student's home with Mr. Mosca to deliver headphones. I also got a crash course on logging into Schoology, as I helped the student do so. This was my first home visit this week but one of many for Mr. Mosca. As we walked to the door, Mr. Mosca stated, "I love our kids, this is so cool to get out and see them."
I love our staff and our families. Thank you for a great start to our school year, please let us know if there is anything you need!
Sincerely,
Mr. Kellenberger

School Fees
School fees have now been uploaded to MyPaymentsPlus. Middle school fees are $38 and are due by 10/2/20. Students that are free and reduced do not pay full fee amounts. If you feel the amount listed in MyPaymentsPlus is in error, please contact Val Swearengen at Worthingway (614-450-4300). Please be aware that free and reduced lunch forms must be completed yearly. If your student was free or reduced last year, that status will not carry over to the new school year.

Smile Calls
I will continue doing Smile Calls! Smile Calls are a way for me to recognize great things going on in the building (or remotely). I love to connect in a positive way and to celebrate the great things your student or students are doing. I ask teachers to send me a 'write up' about good things students are doing. In person, I would call the student to the office, read the 'write up,' make a phone call home, and include the student in our school announcements. Since we are remote, I will make the phone call and mail the 'write up' to you. I am excited to recognize our fantastic students!
