A Note from the Office
Greene Families
Friday's District Choir Tour is one of the best things going in this district! Our students were able to see performers from Greene Machine as well as select performing groups from the JH and HS. It gave a chance for our students to perform in front of their friends and hopefully get the rest of the students thinking about how great it is to share one's gifts with others.
Last week we also had CogAT testing and Erin's Law presentations--huge shoutout to the teachers for adjusting schedules and the students for always putting in their best effort.
Suessical the Musical auditions are tomorrow!! See information below, but I can tell you that it is a great show and our musical team is top notch.
Finally, we have a biweekly PBIS raffle this Friday (see some of the prizes below) and all students who receive an acknowledgment in PBIS rewards from a teacher in being Safe, Respectful, Responsible or a Problem Solver will be entered.
Hopefully we will see you at the Band Concert on Tuesday or Coffee Talk on Thursday. Have a great rest of your weekend!

Next Friday we will have an all school PBIS raffle. Any students with PBIS points will be put in a drawing to win some fantastic prizes. These prizes include University of Cincinnati men's and women's basketball tickets, a Stanley tumbler, and gift cards.
December Coffee Talk
The December Coffee Talk on December 12th @ 1:30pm will follow up on the Core Values: Connect, Grow, Empower. At our last meeting we generated ideas on general projects that we could start in order to ensure that Greene lives up to our Core Values. On that list were ways to connect students/families BEFORE the school year started, ways to authentically engage in the curriculum and opportunties for more families to engage in the school.

District Information
Erin’s Law
Sycamore Families,
Senate Bill 288, also known as Erin’s Law, mandates annual health education curriculum requirements focused on child sexual abuse, dating violence, and sexual violence prevention. Erin’s Law also allows parents to opt their child out of this learning.
Under the law implemented last school year, all schools must provide annual state-approved, developmentally appropriate instruction on child sexual abuse prevention to students Grades K-6. This instruction aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for their safety and protection.
Sycamore has partnered with Family Services to deliver this instruction to students. You can find a complete review of the K-6 programming, including videos that will be shown, by clicking here. If you have questions about the curriculum you can contact Michael Maresca at mmaresca@fsadayton.org or 937-222-9481. Family Services also provides additional services not included in the curriculum that can be found here.
We recognize that every family is unique, and the educational needs of each student may vary. As a result, the law allows for parents and legal guardians to request that their child be excused from child sexual abuse prevention instruction. If you wish to opt out your child, please complete this opt-out form.
If you have concerns about these requirements, we encourage you to reach out to your local representative and senator to express your concerns directly. Thank you for your understanding, and for working together to ensure the safety and well-being of our students.
