Dear Families,

 

Ohio State Tests will impact or 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students and will occur on the following dates: 

 

3rd, 4th, & 5th: English Language Arts: Wednesday, April 9th & Thursday, April 10th 

3rd, 4th, 5th: Math: Wednesday, April 23rd & Thursday, April 24th

5th grade only: Science: Tuesday, April 29th &  Wednesday, April 30th

 

You can assist your child through this endeavor by planning appointments around the morning test sessions, encouraging your children to have a good breakfast (everyday!),  and ensuring that their Chromebook is fully charged and with them at school for each testing session.

It is important that students are on time to school. Students who are late may not enter the classroom once testing begins. 

Thank you for your partnership!

 

Nyesha Clayton, Montrose Elementary Principal

Rachel Niswander, Maryland Elementary Principal

David Schottner, Cassingham Elementary Principal

2025/2026 Kindergarten Registration is now available! Simply go to bexleyschools.org and click on Student Registration. On the Student Registration page click on LINK: Online Student Registration and create an account which will allow you to register your child. You will be asked to upload your child's birth certificate, immunization record, proof of residency, a current utility bill, and your drivers license reflecting your Bexley address. We can't wait to meet the class of 2038!

If you know any families of incoming Kindergarten students and they don’t receive newsletters from Bexley City Schools, please encourage them to register their child for Kindergarten by the end of March!  We will then be able to invite them to our orientation night in April.

 

Bexley Schools are happy to share a Digital Wellness video presentation discussing key details about student access, filtering, answers to frequently asked questions, and tips for families on how to navigate and approach digital wellness at home. The video was developed by Director of Technology Brad Pettit and Bob Keep, District Technology Integration Coach.

 

As part of our commitment stated in both our Strategic Plan and Technology Plan, Bexley Schools offers this video content as part of its continuing outreach with families to share information about computer use and Digital Wellness. Recent survey results from families expressed a preference for recorded content on related topics. We hope you find this useful.

 

This video is available on the Bexley Schools YouTube channel or you can access it here.

As a reminder, Bexley Schools utilize two online reporting tools through which students and/or families may report incidents of concern, including for safety, bullying, hazing, or harassment.

Stay Safe. Speak Up! is a reporting tool that is always at the top of the district website’s homepage. The reporting system is monitored 24/7 by a third party who promptly notifies Bexley Schools administrators when information is submitted.

The district also has an online Equity Issue Reporting tool through which concerns about discrimination may be reported. It also is located at the top of the district website homepage.

Students or family members also may talk to a teacher, coach, counselor, or school principal to report an incident.

Please remember, too, that anyone who witnesses an emergency or dangerous situation that is occurring should call 911 for an immediate police response.

Be assured that we are committed to the highest level of confidentiality about what we discover through any reported incidents and about to whom and what type of consequences are imposed, if any. This is to protect the privacy of all persons involved.

Remember, If you SEE something, please SAY something!

Bexley Schools continue to offer free breakfast for all students for the remainder of this school year. Encourage your students to start their school day with a nutritious breakfast!

Breakfast is served in each school cafeteria at the following times:

      Cassingham Complex: 7:45-8:35 a.m.

      Maryland Elementary: 7:45-8:10 a.m.

      Montrose Elementary: 7:45-8:10 a.m.

Don’t forget that in order for breakfast to be free, a student must select a whole breakfast consisting of one item from three of the four food groups: grains, fruits, vegetables, and milk. Food Services staff members can help students determine what to select for a free meal.

Students who select a single food item rather than a whole breakfast will need to pay for that item individually.
