Good Morning Tremont (GMT) is Tremont Elementary School’s daily video announcement show featuring timely information for students and staff, as well as celebrations of classroom learning, community, and school events. GMT is hosted as “unlisted” on YouTube, viewable only though the link emailed to Tremont staff and families each school day. Throughout the school year, students have the opportunity to create content for GMT individually and as a class, in addition to being recognized as a part of school events.

During the month of May, be sure to watch for recognition of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Stroke Awareness Month, Mother’s Day, International Day of Families, and more! In addition, we are excited to feature takeovers from Mrs. All’s, Ms. Healea’s, Mrs. O’Neill’s, & Mrs. Williams’ classes!

Put your spare change towards a good cause. All coins can be collected. All proceeds from our penny war fundraiser will support The Dempsey Center at Riverside. Jars will be collected from classrooms at the end of the day on May 10th. All of the coins will be counted and the classroom with the most will win a popsicle party. If we raise over $500, Ms. Kroger will get a pie in the face. The winner will be announced at The Mane Event on May 17th.

As part of our partnership with Syntero, Syntero is excited to offer FREE, in personal and virtual, prevention groups services this summer for students. Prevention services can benefit all students! The goal is to foster healthy, adaptive coping skills to more effectively manage life stressors. Registration opens Monday, May 8that 12pm. Registration link and group information can be found on the attached flyer. If you have any questions please email franklinsummer@syntero.org.

New! Hancock Hustle-Volunteers Needed!

Hancock Hustle is a walk that Tremont students will participate in on Tuesday, May 7th, 2024. This is a school-wide event to raise awareness of the signs of stroke to help know what to do. Time is very important for a stroke and minutes can make a difference for recovery. Tremont students will become stroke superheroes who know the symptoms and can remind others about them to help save a life! Students will walk around the turf behind the school building and playground. Visitors are welcome to come and watch! Classrooms will be walking between 8:40-11:00am. Ask your child's teacher for their assigned time.

B.E. F.A.S.T (Balance, Eyes, Face, Arm, Speech, Time) and save a life!

We are in need of 5 parent volunteers to help transition the classes to and from the turf field on May 7th from 8:15-11:15am. Please sign up through the Sign Up Genius below:

Student iPad Distribution Information

Each student will return their old iPad and receive a new 10th-generation iPad as the 2024-25 school year begins. These new devices are equipped with a ruggedized case featuring an attached keyboard and trackpad plus increased storage, processor speed, and a USB-C charging cable and power adapter.

Elementary Students:

Elementary Student devices will be automatically configured and ready for use when they are delivered to classrooms prior to the first day of school.

Middle and High School Students:

All Middle and High School students will need to pick up their device over the summer during the weeks of July 29th and August 5th. Families will need to reserve a time slot during those dates prior to picking up their student’s device when the full schedule is announced.

Device pickups will happen at Upper Arlington High School, on the south end of Golden Bear Boulevard. Families can park in the lot on Brandon Road, and enter through the main doors. In order to receive your new iPad, you must turn in your current device. Please be sure to back up anything you need on your current iPad as your device must be erased before it will be accepted. Be sure to enable iCloud sync within Notability prior to wiping your device or your notes will be irrevocably lost. Students may opt to take their devices home to activate them, otherwise support staff will be available to assist.

For students that cannot pick up their devices during these 2 weeks, we will have iPads available for pickup in each building’s tech office after the start of school.

Strategic planning information and feedback session

Join us for a Listen Learn Lead panel discussion regarding the strategic planning process at 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 9 in the black box theater at Upper Arlington High School. During this session, attendees will hear updates from each of the Strategic Inquiry Teams, be able to submit questions for the teams and provide feedback on the work to date. For those who cannot attend, an alternate online update and feedback opportunity will be available the week of May 13.
