Please Note....Third Grade Ohio State Testing October 22-23!
Third grade students will be taking the online Ohio State Reading Test on October 22-23. Please plan ahead and avoid scheduling appointments or time away from school on these days. Each testing session will be 90 minutes. You will want to make sure that your third grade student is well rested, well fed and prompt to school on October 22nd and 23rd in order to perform their best on the test. Should your child be late on either testing day, he/she will have to wait in the office until after the testing session is complete and take a make-up test at a later time. You may want to check out the 3rd grade sample test questions through the following ODE link- https://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Testing/Ohios-State-Test-in-ELA-Math-Science-SocialStudies/Sample-test-items-and-practice-tests. Each third grader must pass the Ohio State Reading Test in order to be promoted to fourth grade. Students will take the test again in April. Please encourage your child to do his/her best on the test!
Way to go Coy Staff and Students!

Veteran's Day Recognition Information Request
Dear Coy Parents,
In preparation for Veterans Day, we are asking for students to fill out a google form if they have a veteran in their life (parent, uncle, aunt, neighbor, etc.) and send in a picture. We would like to display them on our Veterans hallway for the week of November 11. The form can be found here: https://forms.gle/ufGiB8VrYKF59E4M6
In addition, we will display any veteran artifacts that anyone wants to display. Please have your child bring in and give to Mrs. Claydon by November 8. Items will be returned November 15. Please have them clearly marked. They can be military uniforms, pictures, boots, flags, whatever represents a veteran! They will be on display for the 4th grade program on November 14 at 6:30 PM.
Any questions, please see Mrs. Claydon at kclaydon@oregoncs.org or 419.693.0624 ex 3211.
Thanks.

Nest News...
Our word of the month is Discipline!
Has your child turned in the Fridge Friendly Activity to earn their egg?
Happy Friday!!
Chance has been adjusting well to our school and our students and it is so fun to see how excited they get when they see him! While he is already a trained dog, he does get overwhelmed at school as he is not used to "working" an 8-hour shift. I'm working hard to remind our students to only pet him, and not to give him hugs or kisses as they might their own dog. We also are working on just having a couple students pet him at a time, then move on so that other students can pet Chance as well. I want to personally thank everyone who participated in our hat day fundraiser as well as brought in items for Chance. We truly appreciate your generosity and thoughtfulness in helping make him a great therapy dog for Coy.
Also, there is still time to send me size information if you would like a winter coat for your student(s). You can email me at kwilson@oregoncs.org with that information and I will put them on my list. As soon as the coats are in we will figure out a way to get them to you! We all know how costly things can be so this could be a good thing to let us provide you with! One less worry on your list of things to buy for your ever-growing kiddo!
-Mrs. Wilson
Happy Friday!
Just a friendly reminder, all medication that is to be given during school needs to have proper paperwork completed and must be dropped off by a guardian. Medications SHOULD NOT be traveling with students at any time. This includes all over the counter medicines such as Tylenol, Motrin, and cough drops.
We have been seeing an increase in sore throats and coughs lately, Reminder, COVID no longer has an exclusion policy. Please follow the fever policy in regards to COVID. Our illness policies can be found on page 20 in our District Elementary School Handbook.
Have a great weekend!
