We had a great opening to the 2023/2024 school year. The following goals were achieved during Orientation Days:

• Students learned the meaning of respect between students, staff, and the building community
• Staff communicated clear behavior expectations
• Students were able to familiarize themselves with the building
• Students learned to build relationships
• Students learned what it means to be a Northmont Star

During morning arrival, please allow students to get out of the car and wait outside of Doors 1 or 2 at 7:30 a.m. Waiting until 7:35 a.m. prevents other families from dropping their students off and leaving, this causes a back up in traffic flow. If you need to come into the building, please park in visitors parking and enter Door 1 at the middle school. During inclement and cold weather students will be able to wait inside of Door 1.

Required vaccinations for 7th grade entry include Tdap and MCV4 (meningococcal).

The vaccines are available at most doctor's offices, pharmacies and the local health department.

• Public Health-Dayton and Montgomery County is located at 117 South Main Street Dayton, Ohio. You will need to call for an appointment and take your student's complete immunization record with you when going to this location. (937) 225-4550.

Per Ohio Revised Code 3313.671, students are not allowed to attend school for more than 14 days without proper immunizations.

Please return completed records to the middle school NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 11th, 2023. If you have an upcoming appointment scheduled, please notify Mrs. Turpin with the appointment date.

On Tuesday, September 26th 7th grade students who are new to the district and all 8th grade students will have a hearing and vision screening.
