Dear Families,

 

Thank you for your participation and teamwork during our recent winter conferences.  We hope you enjoyed your time reviewing your child’s progress and collaborating with our teachers, if you did attend a conference.  All three elementary schools have been focusing this year on MTSS, which stands for multi-tiered systems of support.  Tier 1 is the core academic instruction that all students receive.  For example, our Tier 1 curriculum for English Language Arts includes Wit & Wisdom.  Our Tier 1 curriculum for Mathematics includes Bridges and Number Corner.  If our data collected through teacher observation and assessments like MAP and Acadience tells us that learning gaps exist for students, then classroom teachers refer a student to our MTSS team. 

 

At those meetings, the team looks at data and chooses Tier 2 small group or individual interventions to try to help close skill gaps.  These interventions can occur inside or outside of the regular classroom, from a variety of educators including classroom teachers, intervention specialists, school counselors, and literacy support teachers.  If you have concerns about your child’s academic progress, please ask your child’s classroom teachers if MTSS would be an appropriate next step.

 

Thank you for your partnership!

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.

Calling all K-12 students who have innovative ideas about how to make our world a better place!

 

If you have an idea for an invention, an app, a new system for doing things, or some other innovation that you would love to share, consider entering your idea in a new online competition called the Ohio Innovation Challenge. Winners of this round will go on to enter the National competition. Registration is now open and is completely free! You may register as an individual or as a small team. The Student Guide will give you lots of ideas that will help you start putting your ideas together.

 

Registration will close April 26th. As part of the registration, students who are interested will need adult permission, a 60 second video pitch, a logbook showing how your ideas started and evolved, and a 6-slide summary. Contact Ms. Kuder if you have any questions! [email protected]

Montrose’s longest running tradition - Fun for All - is Saturday March 8th from 11am-2pm. The lower level classrooms at Montrose transform and the gym becomes a carnival with long-loved games like the toilet paper toss and Operation. Wristbands for all you can play are just $10 presale. All elementary families had a handout sent home last week. Volunteer opportunities available for MS and HS students!
