School News and Information
Happy Friday, thank you for being flexible this week. As Dr. Theroux shares, always have a Plan B ready. It is hard to believe that January is almost over and that we have just 4 months remaining this school year. Students and staff continue to work hard to learn new things each day. We are excited to see the growth of all our students.
Dismissal Changes-reminder
Student dismissal changes should be communicated with the classroom teacher. If there is a last minute/day of dismissal change for your student(s), calls need to be made to the office prior to 3:30 (MTRF) and 2:45 (W). Changes after these times can not be allowed.
Colder weather--don’t forget those coats and jackets!
The weather is turning cooler. If you need assistance with warmer clothing items (hats, gloves, coats), please reach out to Bogan social worker, Mrs. Franks or Mrs. Merz. We will be happy to assist you.
Also, please mark your child's names in their items. We have a number of jackets, sweatshirts, hats and gloves in the lost and found. If your child is missing some items, please have them check the lost and found outside the music room. We have quite a collection of coats, hats, etc right now!
Contacting Legislators
For those of you that attended PTG on Tuesday evening, I talked about contacting state legislators and the governor about school funding. Holli Hansel has placed the information on the TSD website. Please consider taking a few minutes to advocate for fair school funding for Ohio. The state of Ohio's funding for public schools has been found unconstitutional multiple times. I will be reaching out to our legislators and please consider taking a few moments to do the same.
Please consider writing to our Ohio Board of Education, and other state leaders and elected officials. Check out the talking points and letters we've shared on our district website.

Talawanda Preschool for 23-24
In order to fill the limited spaces in our preschool classrooms, typically developing children will enter the program through a lottery. Parents interested in enrolling their children in preschool should follow the process described below.
1) Please fill in the information below by January 31, 2023. A lottery drawing will be held on February 7, 2023. At this drawing, we will draw names for the available spaces in our preschool program. After all spaces are filled, we will continue to draw names to create a waitlist for any future vacancies.
2) Once your name is drawn you will receive a phone call. We will schedule an appointment for you to enroll and pick up the registration packet from the Nelson Morrow Building. This packet and the first month’s tuition payment will be due no later than April 28, 2023. If we do not receive these items by this date your space will be given to the first person on the waitlist.
In February our waitlist will be wiped clean. If you have a child currently on the waitlist, you will need to fill out a new application for the 23/24 school year.
Thank you for your interest in our Preschool Program.
