Dear Families,

 

Welcome back for a wonderful second semester!  We continue to use Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) to keep our Moose, Mallards, and Cubs safe, respectful, responsible, and kind!  January is a big month for academic rigor, as we are excited to see the growth our students have made when they take the MAP and Acadience assessments!

 

Thank you for your partnership!

This school year, our schools are stepping up to promote unity and compassion by creating a sustainable culture where there is No Place For Hate in our buildings. Each Bexley school is participating and planning specific initiatives to encourage the school community to become No Place for Hate.  Our schools will be conducting a NPFH kick-off assembly with students and staff. At the kick-off, students will share the NPFH Pledge.

 

The pledge will serve to guide the actions of the students toward helping the school become NPFH.  Students and staff will use the remainder of the school year to implement at least three NPFH initiatives. When completed, our building will receive a No Place for Hate national designation from the Anti-Defamation League. 

 

No Place for Hate is a simple, yet profound, way to create a positive school culture and encourage lifelong habits of kindness. Kindness is not just a word - it's a necessity for creating lasting change in our schools, our communities, and our world. Students leading students toward a common goal that supports positive relationships and discourages bullying will help to create spaces for students to learn with curiosity, demonstrate kindness, and embrace equity. The entire community is invited to join together to support this effort.

The following are guidelines regarding visitors on Bexley School District property:

School principals and their designees are authorized to take appropriate action to prevent and remove, if necessary, unauthorized persons from entering District buildings, loitering on the grounds, and/or creating disturbances anywhere on District property.

 

Remember, if you see something that makes you or your students uncomfortable, then please say something either to a staff member, or via our online safety reporting tool, “Stay Safe. Speak Up!”

Regular school attendance is an important ingredient in students’ academic success. Excessive absences interfere with students’ progress in mastering knowledge and skills necessary to graduate from high school prepared for higher education and the workforce. House Bill 410 requires all Ohio schools to calculate each child’s school attendance to the minute.  To support academic success for all students, our schools partner with students and their families to identify and reduce barriers to regular school attendance. Please check out this list of frequently asked questions and contact your child’s teacher or principal with any questions regarding your child's attendance.  House Bill 410 - FAQ (See Policy JEDA.)

Bexley Schools maintains our Flier Connection on the district website as a resource for community and other events or notices. This “virtual backpack” allows us to share information from outside organizations on events, recreation sports leagues, and more. Don’t forget to check the Flier Connection on a regular basis. You can find the Flier Connection on the district home page under the “About” tab. You also may submit events or information for posting to our “Flier Connection.” The button to submit information is on the same webpage. 

 

We have a wide variety of allergies, nutritional needs, and dietary restrictions in our schools.  To keep students safe and healthy, we do not permit birthday treats at school.  Our teachers are encouraged to establish routines and traditions in their classrooms to celebrate each student’s special day!
