Tremont Family Update

Thank you all for welcoming me into your Tremont family! I have had such a fun year and have enjoyed getting to know you and your amazing kids! I'd like to congratulate our 5th graders as they head off to Jones and Hastings and start their middle school journey!

I hope I get to see lots of you this summer around UA! Please don't hesitate to say hello and help me learn your names! It is my goal to know the names of all the kids and parents here! My favorite place to be in the summer is at Swim and Racquet so please say hello if you are there as well.

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your partnership and generosity throughout this year's school-wide service learning project.

Thanks to your incredible support, our students were able to provide the Ronald McDonald House with 225 snack packs, 250 stuffed animals, and over 160 pounds of pop tabs. Our meeting with their team on Tuesday was truly heartwarming, and they were overwhelmed with gratitude for your contributions.

Your ongoing support and commitment to our initiatives make a significant difference in the lives of those families in a time of need. None of this would have been possible without your dedication and kindness.

As we look ahead, we are excited about the prospect of continuing our partnership with the Ronald McDonald House next year. Your involvement truly makes a difference, and we are grateful to have you as part of our school community. Thank you once again for your incredible generosity and support.

The 2024-2025 Transportation Information Form is now available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal. All families of students entering first through eighth grade this fall will need to complete this form to share how their student will be getting to and from school and to request school transportation, if needed and eligible, for the upcoming school year. You can access the 2024-2025 Transportation Information Form in the PowerSchool Parent Portal by clicking on the Forms icon in the left navigation bar and then scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking on the Transportation form.

Your student’s Transportation Information Form will be available in PowerSchool through Friday, May 24.

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.

Stay tuned for additional details in future updates.

New iPad and Wired Headphone Compatibility Information

The new iPads no longer feature a traditional headphone jack. At this point in time we are recommending families purchase USB-C Headphones for use with the new iPads.
