Principal's Message 🤗
Can you believe that it is already February?!? Our Noble scholars have been working hard since returning in January. Kindergartners, First Graders, and Second Graders have been focused on improving their reading skills and practicing new strategies to become fluent readers. Scholars in Grades 3-5 have been working on their Ohio State Benchmark Assessments in Reading and Math - showing what they know and preparing for the BIG TESTS in April.
I continue to be constantly impressed by the perseverance, hard working nature of our scholars and staff. Everyone believes in one another and works together to help our school succeed - it truly does make a HUGE difference! Keep working hard scholars to show the Noble BIG FOUR in all you do (Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, and Be Kind).
Have a great week and ALWAYS REMEMBER TO SHOW YOUR NOBLE PRIDE 🐯
VERY IMPORTANT!!! Infinite Campus - Annual Update
Also, it is imperative that all families complete the Infinite Campus Annual Update. Families MUST complete the Annual Update in order to have their children attend after school enrichments or school field trips. CLICK HERE to view the letter to families who have no completed the Annual Update yet - it includes a QR code that will direct you to the page to complete the Annual Update.
We have field trips for all students in Grades K-4 in February and students WILL NOT be able to attend if the family doesn't have an update Infinite Campus account. We will be reviewing this information and sharing it with families this week. Please, please be sure to update your accounts as soon as possible!

PBIS Hallway Expectations
For the past few years, we have been focused on our Noble BIG FOUR expectations! These expectations to Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, and Be Kind have been cornerstones of our work throughout the building. From classrooms to hallways to the playgrounds and everywhere in between, we have been working on reinforcing specific behaviors aligned to these four expectations throughout the building.
At this point, we wanted to share our expectations with all families and partners in order to help everyone understand "how we do business at Noble". When students meet the expectations, they are awarded Dojo Points that they can redeem at our Scholar Store (students shop every two weeks). When students struggle with the expectations, the expectations are retaught and, if needed, consequences are put in place. Our consequences are outlined in our Student Code of Conduct which is available below in our Important Resources section.
Attendance Update 📆
As we gear up for the month of February, we need YOUR HELP!!! A group of our Noble scholars have been struggling with their attendance and we all know that for students to be learning, they need to be in here at school. We've unfortunately seen a steady decline in our attendance over this school year. In August and September, we started strong with around a 96-97% attendance rate. Since then, our attendance rate has declined to 92.5%. We have these next few months to get back on track and achieve our schoolwide goal of a 95% ATTENDANCE RATE!!!
We need your children here so please reach out to speak with Mrs. Burkey, our Noble School Social Worker, if there is anything that we can do to assist with improving your child's attendance.
