School News and Information

Happy Friday!  It is hard to believe that March is next week.  Our teachers will be sharing conference sign-ups soon.  Just a reminder that Conference Nights are March 9th and 14th. 

 

Kindergarten Registration 

Talawanda School District is now accepting Kindergarten registration for the 2023-2024 school year.  Any child whose fifth birthday is on or before August 1, 2023, is eligible to register for kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year. 

Please call the school office at the school located within your attendance area to register your child.  If you are unsure of which school attendance area you live in, please call Petermann Transportation @ (513) 273-3150 for verification on which school your child will attend.

After enrollment forms are completed, parents must furnish their child’s certified birth certificate, immunization records, certified-court stamped divorce decree with custody papers (if applicable), copy of parent(s) driver's license, and proof of residency in the Talawanda School District to complete their child’s Kindergarten enrollment. 

 

Monitoring What Students See and Hear

It is concerning to hear that students are making references to inappropriate/adult topics in the classroom. Children can be exposed to such topics through various means, including social media (TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, etc), television, music, and overheard conversations. They can repeat these topics, sometimes without even knowing what they are saying.  It is important for parents and caregivers to monitor what their children are exposed to and to have open and honest conversations about appropriate behavior and language.

 

Parents can take steps to limit their child's access to inappropriate content by setting parental controls on devices and monitoring their child's online activity. Additionally, parents can talk to their children about what they are watching and help them understand why certain content may not be appropriate.

As educators, it is important to address inappropriate language and behavior in the classroom and to provide guidance on appropriate language and behavior. Teachers can also work with parents to address any concerns and to ensure that students are receiving consistent messaging at school and at home.

 

Overall, it is essential for parents and educators to work together to create a safe and supportive learning environment for children. By monitoring what children are exposed to and providing guidance on appropriate behavior and language, we can help ensure that children are not exposed to inappropriate content and are able to thrive both academically and socially.

Contacting Legislators

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.
