The students at NCES are able to receive positive referrals from staff for going above and beyond. We are so proud of our students who have earned positive referrals during the month.

When students receive a positive referral their photo is taken, the receive a bracelet, candy or a pencil. Additionally, students receiving positive referrals are honored as we hang their photo in the hallway of each student receiving a positive office referral and these students are also honored on our morning announcements which can be viewed on our Youtube channel, and their pictures scroll on the TV in the office. It is really exciting for our students.

WAY TO GO KIDS!!!! You are the good example for others! Keep it up the great work.

NCES has an Instagram account. Please follow us to see the fun and educational happenings at New Carlisle Elementary School. Tell your friends and family to join us too. I try to post pictures almost daily.

There is a free zoom event for our parents regarding internet safety. With all the social media issues facing students today we wanted to offer parents good quality information. This will be a LIVE session so parents can ask questions during the event. This event is right around the corner! So mark this on your calendar. It is GOOD information. The information is below.

Safer Ohio School Tip Line

The Safer Ohio School Tip Line is a free safety resource available to all Ohio schools. The tip line is an anonymous reporting system that accepts both calls and texts 24 hours a day.

This tip line allows students and adults to anonymously share information with school officials and law enforcement about threats to student safety—whether that involves a threatened mass incident or harm to a single student.

Things to report to the tip line include (but are not limited to):

• Bullying incidents;

• Withdrawn student behaviors;

• Verbal or written threats observed toward students, faculty or schools;

• Weapon/suspicious devices on or near school grounds;

• Gang related activities;

• Unusual/suspicious behavior of students or staff;

• Self-harm or suicidal sentiments; and

• Any other school safety related concerns.

Every tip can remain anonymous. School safety analysts may ask for additional information, but the caller can remain secret or leave his or her contact information for later follow-up.

Calls or texts to 844-SaferOH (844-723-3764) are answered by analysts within Ohio Homeland Security. If action is needed, the analysts immediately forward information to local school officials, law enforcement agencies and the Ohio School Safety Center (OSSC) for action and follow up.

The OSSC partners with the Ohio Department of Education to follow up with affected school and law enforcement agencies to make sure that the incident is investigated, action is taken and resources and supports are provided when necessary.

The Scholastic Bookfair will be at New Carlisle Elementary February 9-15. They will also be open during our parent / teacher conferences. Come purchase your child some books for your family library. Ask your child's teacher what level they are so you are purchasing books at their reading levels.

If you are interested in volunteering to help at the Bookfair use this LINK to sign up.

The Education Connection is a telephone number that you can call 24-hours a day to listen to your child’s homework assignments, report your child’s absence, hear the lunch menu, find out the scores of the big game, hear about school closings and leave a private message for a staff member.

You will still need to call your child in if they will not be attending school, or doing their online work for the day. We will still need to document attendance. We are marking students with green, yellow and red attendance.

Please use the TEC number for:

• Calling your child in sick.
• Leave a voicemail with questions.
• 937-845-4483
