NEWS & INFORMATION
We’ve had a fantastic week! Our students have been engaged in exciting learning activities, and it’s been wonderful to see their enthusiasm in the classroom. A big thank you to all the parents who attended conferences—we truly appreciate the opportunity to connect and discuss your child’s progress. Your support and partnership make a huge difference in their success. There is still time to sign up if you would like a conference with your child's teacher. We will hold conferences next Tuesday night too! Thank you to our PTG conference meal team for providing drinks and food for our staff for conferences. We would like to thank all of the families that donated items to us. It is greatly appreciated.
As we head into next week, we look forward to more learning, growth, and fun!
PICK UP
To help ensure students arrive at their correct dismissal location, we kindly ask that you contact the main office by 2:30 PM if there are any changes to your child’s dismissal plan. While we understand that emergencies can happen, we’ve noticed a significant increase in last-minute changes around 3:00 PM, which can cause confusion and delays. By notifying us by 2:30 PM, we can make sure your child receives a dismissal note and reaches the right spot after school. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Hello Families!
Our 2025 Foertmeyer and Sons Spring Flower Sale will be starting soon! Please check your student’s backpack for the catalog offering some of Ohio’s best annuals, perennials, fruit, herbs, and vegetable plants along with the best fertilizer!
Every purchase will benefit our school, so please remember to share your student’s store link with local family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and on social media, so everyone has an opportunity to support our school’s fundraiser by buying plants they would normally plan to purchase for their garden and landscaping.
You’ll know the store is open for ordering once you receive the catalog from your student. However, you can click HERE for a sneak peek TODAY of what will be available this sale!
Also, make sure to check out this year's prize package. Every student who sells an item gets a chance to win a family vacation to Cedar Point, Kings Island, Kalahari Resorts or Great Wolf Lodge. Click HERE for complete details.
