Principal's Message

Dear Blue Ash Families,


Happy February! It’s hard to believe how quickly the school year is flying by. I hope everyone is staying warm and enjoying the start of the new month.


We are excited to celebrate Valentine’s Day on Wednesday, February 12th. We want to thank our families for their support with classroom celebrations and please see information from your child's teacher about items that are acceptable to send in for this party.


Looking ahead, students will not be in attendance from February 13th - February 17th. Our staff will engage in professional development days and we are observing President's Day on February 17th. We hope you enjoy this time off with your family.


Our newsletter this week contains many reminders for next year. Please take time to review all information and don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or need support. We hope you have enjoyed the warmer weather this weekend and we will see you tomorrow for a new week!


Warm regards,
Natalie

Hello 4th Grade Parents!


We are looking forward to welcoming your students to our building next year! In preparation for the transition, next week we will be visiting your student's class to meet them and review their specials choices for 5th grade. They will be viewing this video as well! Feel free to talk with your child about the options and their choices. In March we will be uploading their specials choices to the eBackpack in parent portal so you can double check and alert us to changes if needed.


Go Aves!

POP INTO PRESCHOOL

Dear Families,

People have created a variety of tools to help them get things done. Some of these tools make work easier, some save time, and some do both. Some tools are used to create works of art and some tools are used to build. This week, children will explore tools people use for both work and play.

This week’s Family Connections activities can be found at: https://lilypad2.frogstreet.com/public/resouce-detail/0e9e52d6-1349-4b79-ac32-5493132a0990

This week’s storybook, “Simple Machines” can be found at: https://lilypad2.frogstreet.com/public/resouce-detail/712b6301-8d7a-4704-a41c-225cda8b616a

Looking forward to an exciting week!

Sincerely,


The Preschool Team

PaySchools for Online Payments

Sycamore Schools has officially transitioned to PaySchools for academic fees, fines, and school meals. You will need to create a log-in during your first visit. PaySchools will allow you to pay for items such as AP test fees, classroom fees, summer school tuition, as well as school meals. Athletic fees should be paid through Final Forms.


Our old online payment system through Parent Portal no longer exists. If you need help with your PaySchools account, check out the PaySchools user guide on our Online Payments page.

District and Activity Flyers

All district-approved flyers will be listed on Sycamore Schools' website instead of in our weekly newsletters. This will help condense our newsletters to important school information.
