The students at NCES are able to receive positive referrals from staff for going above and beyond. We are so proud of our students who have earned positive referrals during the month.

When students receive a positive referral their photo is taken, the receive a bracelet, candy or a pencil. Additionally, students receiving positive referrals are honored as we hang their photo in the hallway of each student receiving a positive office referral and these students are also honored on our morning announcements which can be viewed on our Youtube channel, and their pictures scroll on the TV in the office. It is really exciting for our students.

WAY TO GO KIDS!!!! You are the good example for others! Keep it up the great work.

Final Forms

Please update your Final Forms. If your child does not have their forms updated by September 11th they will not be permitted to come to school. The school office needs your updated information, like phone numbers, address, medical issues and custody paperwork. This will help us have the correct inforamtin we need to contact you in case of an emergency.

Transportation Information

Parents/guardians will be required to choose just one pick up location and one drop off location for students that will be used all five days of the week. Parents will no longer be able to request different pick up or drop off locations for different days of the week. The pick up location and the drop off location can be different. Parents may have a different pick up address on 2-hour delay days. A court order requiring different drop off locations through a custody arrangement will be the only exception to this policy.

Technology Fee

insurance provides each student one free repair per school year for any unintentional damage to their device. Each subsequent unintentional damage will incur a $25 fee which will be added to the student account fees.

Payschool - Central Payment Portal

Our district is moving to a new online fee payment program called Payschools. The Central Payment Portal allows you to pay your children’s school lunches and fees as well as fill out the Free & Reduced School Meals application.

To fill out the Free & Reduced Lunch application please create your account on the Payschools Central Payment portal. This can be accomplished by using this link: www.payschoolscentral.com and selecting the "register" button. Once created you will be able to access the Free & Reduced lunch application.

We encourage all parents to fill out a free and reduced application IF you feel you qualify. You only need to submit one application per household. The application must be filled out completely to certify your children for free or reduced price school meals. If you receive food stamps you will need your CASE NUMBER for the application as your card number does not work. Please provide all income for the entire household. If you have questions please call the Child Nutrition office at 937-845-4519.

Please take a minute and download the App to your phone. This will help you stay connected to what is going on in our district and school.

NCES has an Instagram account. Please follow us to see the fun and educational happenings at New Carlisle Elementary School. Tell your friends and family to join us too. I try to post pictures almost daily.

New Carlisle Elementary has a Twitter page. Feel free to join @ArrowsNces, to see what is going on at NCES.

Safer Ohio School Tip Line

The Safer Ohio School Tip Line is a free safety resource available to all Ohio schools. The tip line is an anonymous reporting system that accepts both calls and texts 24 hours a day.

This tip line allows students and adults to anonymously share information with school officials and law enforcement about threats to student safety—whether that involves a threatened mass incident or harm to a single student.

Things to report to the tip line include (but are not limited to):

• Bullying incidents;

• Withdrawn student behaviors;

• Verbal or written threats observed toward students, faculty or schools;

• Weapon/suspicious devices on or near school grounds;

• Gang related activities;

• Unusual/suspicious behavior of students or staff;

• Self-harm or suicidal sentiments; and

• Any other school safety related concerns.

Every tip can remain anonymous. School safety analysts may ask for additional information, but the caller can remain secret or leave his or her contact information for later follow-up.

Calls or texts to 844-SaferOH (844-723-3764) are answered by analysts within Ohio Homeland Security. If action is needed, the analysts immediately forward information to local school officials, law enforcement agencies and the Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC) for action and follow up.

The OSSC partners with the Ohio Department of Education to follow up with affected school and law enforcement agencies to make sure that the incident is investigated, action is taken and resources and supports are provided when necessary.

The Education Connection is a telephone number that you can call 24-hours a day to listen to your child’s homework assignments, report your child’s absence, hear the lunch menu, find out the scores of the big game, hear about school closings and leave a private message for a staff member.

You will still need to call your child in if they will not be attending school, or doing their online work for the day. We will still need to document attendance. We are marking students with green, yellow and red attendance.

Please use the TEC number for:

• Calling your child in sick.
• Leave a voicemail with questions.
• 937-845-4483
