School News and Information

Happy Friday! Our 5th graders completed their Ohio State testing this week, and we are proud of their hard work and dedication. They showed great focus and determination throughout the testing period, and we are excited to see the results.

As we move forward, we will continue with our MAP and AimsWeb testing for students in grades K-5. These assessments provide valuable insight into each student's academic progress and help us tailor our teaching to meet their individual needs. We appreciate your support in ensuring your child is well-prepared for these tests.

Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education. We look forward to another great week in the classroom.

Contacting Legislators

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.
